So, what is the status of this series?
I've important speedup work stuck behind it so I would like to see the topic move forward.

transaction: introduce "changes" dictionary to precisely track updates

The transaction is already tracking some data intended for hooks (in
'hookargs'). However, that information is minimal as we optimise for
passing data to other processes through environment variables.
There are
multiple places were we could use more complete and lower level
information locally (eg: cache update, better report of changes to
hooks, etc...).

For this purpose we introduces a 'changes' dictionary on the
transaction.  It is intended to track every changes happening to the
repository (eg: new revs, bookmarks move, phases move, obs-markers,
etc).

For now we just adds the 'changes' dictionary. We'll adds more
tracking
and usages over time.

I'm not sure if it's good idea to add more free-form dict to the
transaction
class, since that would make code less manageable in general.

Can you elaborate on your worries here?

The content of the dictionnary should be strictly defined by the
localrepo object, and the data should be filled at low level by code
that already requires a transaction to be present. So I think the result
will be quite manageable.

We -need- something else than "hookargs" to carry transaction related
information. For example we needs to tracks bookmark movement, phases
changes and tags movement. The "hookargs" dictionnary is not appropriate
to track such data.

My concern is unclear, sorry. The transaction code seems hard to
review because
it has arbitrary hooks, weakrefs in them, hookargs dict, etc. And now
'changes'
dict. They all seem to make things too abstract.

I believe the result looks better overall than before, but I can't say
the
transaction itself gets better.

The net result at the end of my work should be clearer:

- code tracking changes should be clearer and safer,
- code reacting to changes would have more well defined spot to react to
these changes.

(as a bonus, we might be able to compute the hookargs, dict for the
'changes' one at some point)

Cheers,
