[ANN] bzr-revnocache 0.1

[Ian Clatworthy]

I'm pleased to announce the 0.1 release of bzr-revnocache,
an experimental plugin that improves the performance of
bzr operations referencing merge revisions (i.e. those
with dotted revnos) on large projects. As an example,
"bzr status -r77537.1.3262" against the Emacs trunk on my
laptop takes 60 seconds without this plugin & 14 seconds
after installing it.

This release is a proof-of-concept only, suitable for
early adopter testing/hacking. Usage is trivial - install
the plugin and then forget about it (because it ought to
be completely transparent). The code may well be useful
for other bzr projects (though the API is not yet stable)
that need this information cached.

For more information including installation instructions,

Enjoy,
Ian C.
