obsolete: store metadata as a tuple of (key, value) pairs (API)
Different formats will encode metadata in different ways. So we cannot keep the
binary blob in the object anymore. We use a tuple to ensure it is immutable and
hashable.
$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m test
Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do
> hg co -qC 0
> echo b > a
> hg st
> done
