+Added libbe/upgrade.py to handle upgrading on-disk bugdirs.
+
+When upgrade.BUGDIR_DISK_VERSION changes, a series of Updater
+classes handle the upgrade. For example, if
+ BUGDIR_DISK_VERSIONS = ["v1", "v2", "v3"]
+and the on-disk version is "v1", you should have defined classes
+ class Upgrade_1_to_2 (Upgrader):
+ initial_version = "v1"
+ final_version = "v2"
+ def _upgrade():
+ ....
+ class Upgrade_2_to_3 (Upgrader):
+ initial_version = "v2"
+ final_version = "v3"
+ def _upgrade():
+ ....
+and added them to upgraders:
+ upgraders = [Upgrade_1_to_2, Upgrade_2_to_3]
+If the on-disk version is v2, then only Upgrade_2_to_3.upgrade() is
+run. If the on-disk version is v1, then Upgrade_1_to_2.upgrade() is
+run, followed by Upgrade_2_to_3.upgrade().
+
+You can optionally define shortcut upgrades (e.g. Upgrade_1_to_3) for
+efficiency or to avoid data loss.
+
+This upgrade occurs during BugDir.load(), which is called by
+BugDir.__init__(from_disk=True), before any processing of the on-disk
+data except for the access of .be/version to determine if an upgrade
+was necessary.

+There is no obvious means of using
+".be/version"/"libbe.bugdir.TREE_VERSION_STRING". In the past I've
+worked around this by keeping all the disk-reading backwards
+compatible (e.g. homemade mapfile -> YAML, the "From" hack in
+libbe.comment.Comment.load_settings, possibly others). However, this
+is not the road to easily maintainable code.
+
+Most projects only need to maintain backwards compatibility with the
+last few versions of their disk cache, to allow users an easy upgrade
+path. The difficulties come with "be diff", which must be able to
+read _every_ disk-image of the bugdir ever committed into something
+comparible with the current cutting edge. This makes sweeping changes
+very difficult. VCSs themselves avoid this by never showing their
+disk-cache to another program, but we've shown ours to the VCS, and
+it's difficult (or impossible, depending on the VCS) to change history
+to match the current format.
