narrow: add a TODO document
These are things that are bigger than we want to handle right now, but
are pretty important to get narrowing to be non-experimental.

Right now +we've seen some odd bugs, and the way we modify the contents of the +.hg/shared file is unfortunate.

This +came up the import to hgext, but nobody's got concrete improvement +ideas as of then. + +Fold most (or preferably all) of narrowrevlog.py into core. + +Address commentary in narrowrevlog.excludedmanifestrevlog.add - +specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that +add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve +the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError. + +Figure out how to correctly produce narrowmanifestrevlog and +narrowfilelog instances instead of monkeypatching regular revlogs at +runtime to our subclass. Even better, merge the narrowing logic +directly into core. + +Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in +narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there. + +Formally document the narrowspec format. Unify with sparse, if at all +possible. For bonus points, unify with the server-specified narrowspec +format. + +narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure +they're holding the wlock. + +Implement a simple version of the expandnarrow wireproto command for +core. Having configurable shorthands for narrowspecs has been useful +at Google (and sparse has a similar feature from Facebook), so it +probably makes sense to implement the feature in core. (Google's +handler is entirely custom to Google, with a custom format related to +bazel's build language, so it's not in the narrowhg distribution.)
