Bazaar needs to have a consistent policy as to what length file ids are
allowed or should at least throw a decent exception if a file id is
being added that is too long to be stored by the current revision store.
What characters are being escaped, how and what the maximum length of a
file id therefore is is not something upper layers should have knowledge
of.
Robert hacked up a repository some time ago that allowed infinite (well,
somewhat) revision ids by using the checksum of a file id as filename.
Maybe this could be incorporated into the main tree sometime?
