[Monotone-devel] heads up: nvm.experiment.encapsulation almost done

[Zack Weinberg]

I've just pushed the last major structural change for
nvm.experiment.encapsulation.  There is still a bunch of refactoring
and cleanup that wants to be done in keys.cc and key_store.cc, but
it's not blocking the merge, so I'm going to stop obsessing about it.

I have yet to pull the database, key_store, and workspace objects out
of the app_state.  That will be the next change, and it is the last
change I plan before the branch lands.  The app_state will survive as
a wrapper around the lua and opts objects, and will still have a
handful of methods.  I want to get those too, and their little dog,
but  I don't want to drag this process out any longer than I already
have, and I think those changes can be done piecemeal once the branch
lands.

This work has touched nearly every internal interface.  I would really
appreciate comments at this stage.  I know several people are already
using this branch as the baseline for their ongoing work, so I'm
guessing y'all have opinions.

(Yes, there will be an update to HACKING, but I'm not going to write
it until dead last.)
