Rust arrays have their size as part of the type. Use MAGIC.len() when you need the length, and set the type to [u8; 4] to indicate that this is a programmer-set size (don't let Rust deduce it).

Rust noob question: Is the extra scoping here is needed because root_data has a lifetime attached to the store, and therefore we need to unscope root_data (by unscoping root) before we can move store to the Backend::File constructor?

154

What does it mean to pass state to the remove function? Do we actually access state stored on the removed tree?

157

Why &state here but just state above in add_file?

Correct. Hopefully non-lexical-lifetimes will remove the need for this extra scope.

154

Yes, Mercurial uses the size field on removed entries to encode some state that it needs to restore if the file gets re-added (-1 means the file was in 'm' state, -2 means the file was other-parent).

I did think about making this an explicit enum, but I think that's an API change that's outside the scope of treedirstate.

157

The & is unnecessary here as state is already a reference. I'll remove it.

I need the length for line 77 where I'm creating a buffer to read from disk, and without const expressions, I can't use let buffer = [u8; MAGIC.len()]. I would use [u8; MAGIC_LEN] for the type here, but you can't initialize [u8; 4] with b"////" as the latter is considered a reference. I could use const MAGIC: [u8; 4] = { b'/', b'/', b'/', b'/' };, but that seems worse to me.

Does it make sense for this to be generic over the per-file info at the point you're committing things to storage? Does it ever get used with something other than FileState?

84–87

I think all this low-level serde stuff should be confined to types with implementations of Storable rather than just stuck in the middle of other code. It complicates the logic and it ends up being hard to maintain (it's easy to accidentally change the file format when moving code around).

120–122

Would it be better to leave the old store in place if writing the new one fails?

In the test code I use a simplified State class, but no, it's not really necessary.

When writing full copies of the tree out, we update the tree with IDs from the new store. If we fail to finish, then the tree will be in an inconsistent state, with potentially some nodes referring to the old store, and some referring to the new.

We should probably invalidate ourselves here, but I'm not really sure of the best way to do it? Any suggestions?

I've added D1512 which removed the type parameter on Dirstate.
