Since we're revisiting it, I want to point out Graydon's reply
regarding I/O formats:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg01927.html
His opening sentence states it well:
"I understand your concern, but I think you're over-stating
the problem (or failing to note the slow direction we're
already moving in)."
He covers the problems of different formats in depth, and then closes
with:
"I can tell you what my preference is, though: I'd prefer if
the automate commands all pumped out basic_io stanzas. I'd
prefer if you could send basic_io stanzas to monotone as
command sequences (say, for monotone stdio). I'd prefer if all
commands could be invoked via stdio. And I'd prefer, rather
than per-command things like --brief, that we do what marcel
suggested (and what, if you look, the ROADMAP file has listed
for some time), and give lua hooks a chance to control output
formatting in general, so that if you *don't* want basic_io,
there's something simple and general you can do about it."
So, yes. Converging on basic_io and stdio is the "basic" idea. ;-)
