tjob feature todo list
======================

certainly
---------
* starting build: combine -O flags with default ones, store all of them
* run/restart --new-tag=X: ensures that tag X does not exist yet, otherwise fails
* list: listing build options
* list --before="1d ago"
* list --passed, --running
* list --runner ub10 --job packages-master --build 1234 --promotion-deps
* tail command, multiple jobs
* list -n: limit number of entries shown
* add command: add an existing job to local Jobs list without starting one,
  or maybe: list --set-tag FOO, which will also copy the old options
* archive command: move matching builds to archive file
* fix: nil job statuses (entry pointing to a deleted build) must not be passed
  on, raise an error, gc
* tests: once the design stabilizes a bit
* list --no-header: skip printing header line
* list: options for filtering by test class, case name
* list --tests: option for listing just the test cases
* show progress only after a couple of seconds or so, max every N milliseconds
* restart: fix --confirm to work again
* terminate command
* workaround: incorrect branch name/commit-id recorded immediately after job
  start until jenkins has figured out the correct revision
* "-T a,b" needs to work like "-T a -T b"
* restart --since X
* restart only starts max one build per job
* "-O foo" without value should produce an error
* run: able to launch jobs when jenkins is congested without timeouts (record queued build)

maybe
-----
* query jobs with filters, list jobs "owner=mel, 'since>2h ago'"
* git bisect command
* "gist" command for pushing a pretty job report + error details to some gist-like
  publishing thing
* tail command with pattern matching support, e.g. grep for sub phases in
  a long job, or just filter out crap
* restart: require at least one filtering option
* "tjob list" as the default command "tjob", "tjob restart" -> "tjob --restart"
* automatic backups of default.json
* replace "started job" msg with standard tabout display (without sorting and
  buffering)
* artifact manipulation commands
* colored output

unlikely
--------
* daemon mode, rest api
