Maybe you can enumerate what you think needs to change in mercurial, then once we have a plan in place it will be clearer who can do what. The encode/decode hooks need to be passed the filename they are working on so you can have an ignore list, this is why I consider my method a hack since I am using a precommit hook to do conversion since I am able to find out which file I am working on and make sure it is not in an ignore list. There also needs to be a way to have required and version controlled extensions.

I think this is the exact issue my 'none' patch addresses. Your filters can say:

[encode] *.dsp=none: **=cleverencode:

The end result should be that anything with 'none:' forms what you call an ignore list.

Would that not meet your requirements?

Cheers,

Mark
