Status of Local Checkout

Status: implemented 20130223

Required permissions: n/a (local access only)

Request: /json/status

This command requires a local checkout and is the analog to the "fossil status" command.

Request Options: currently none.

Payload example:

{
"repository":"/home/stephan/cvs/fossil/fossil.fsl",
"localRoot":"/home/stephan/cvs/fossil/fossil/",
"checkout":{
  "uuid":"b38bb4f9bd27d0347b62ecfac63c4b8f57b5c93b",
  "tags":["trunk"],
  "datetime":"2013-02-22 17:34:19 UTC",
  "timestamp":1361554459
 },
/* "parent" info is currently missing. */
"files":[
  {"name":"src/checkin.c", "status":"edited"}
  ...],
"errorCount":0 /* see notes below */
}

Notes:

The checkout.tags property follows the framework-wide convention that the first tag in the list is the primary branch and any others are secondary.
errorCount is +1 for each missing file. Conflicts are not treated as errors because the CLI 'status' command does not treat them as such.
The "status" entry for each of the "files" entries will be either a single string containing a single description of the status change, or an array of strings if more than one change was made, e.g. "edited" and "renamed". The status strings include:
deleted, new, notAFile, missing, updatedByMerge, updatedByIntegrate, addedBymerge, addedByIntegrate, conflict, edited, renamed
File objects with a "renamed" status will contain a "priorName" property in addition to the "name" property reported in all cases.
TODO: Info for the parent version is currently missing.
TODO: "merged with" info for the checkout is currently missing.
