Hello everyone

The 6.1 freeze is looming and I would like to discuss finalizing the `dirstate-tracked-key` feature. The main remaining question if the configuration option. That already sparked some discussion in the initial series but was a secondary issue as long as the feature experimental.

So after thinking more about this I don't think the `version` concerns warrant and special case. And I advocate for the usual `format.use-dirstate-tracked-key=yes` option. If needed, the version configuration might be dealt with by a secondary option: probably `format.use-dirstate-tracked-key:version`. It might be smart to introduce it already, to properly bark when the value is not "1". However this might seems premature.

What do you think ?

Cheers

PS: I am adding Kyle in CC as this feature is the related to a need he expressed with dirstate and concurrency issue Google had. This is not exactly what they wanted, but close enough to make sure they are aware of it. It might even fit there underlying needs ? I though I did the CC on the initial series but I apparently did not.
