Nullbackend definition

[Stefan Reichör]

Hi!

In the next weeks I would like to invest some time for ditrack development.
And I want to see some progress on the Nullbackend.

However, I need some help from the core developers to go in the correct direction.


I would like to make dt-createdb fully working with the Nullbackend


The next step would be to support dt new.



So I did the following experiment (using the Nullbackend branch):


# dt-createdb t1

# ls -la t1
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 5 stefan stefan 152 2007-08-28 21:38 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 stefan stefan 440 2007-08-28 21:38 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 stefan stefan  48 2007-08-28 21:38 data/
drwxr-xr-x 2 stefan stefan 152 2007-08-28 21:38 etc/
drwxr-xr-x 2 stefan stefan  72 2007-08-28 21:38 meta/
-rw-r--r-- 1 stefan stefan 105 2007-08-28 21:38 README.txt

# dt new
svn: '.' is not a working copy
'.' (default path) is not an issue database root


So my question is now, how should dt new work when using the Nullbackend?
Should it be called from the t1 directory?
Which files will be generated?

Any other things I need to consider?

Stefan.
