Hi,

here's a small summary of the 8th (coding) week. This week I spent
most of my time with rewriting the working copy code.
Done:
- added support to add and delete packages
- added some "abstractions" for the tracking file format:
  currently packages and files are tracked in a xml file
- thought about the package update algorithm. Basically
  it'll work like this (simplified version):
  - perform update in a tmpdir (phase 1)
  - if the tmp update finished, copy/rename all files to
    the wc (phase 2)

  Advantage:
  If the update is interrupted in phase 1 the wc wasn't touched
  at all and nothing should be broken.
  If the update is interrupted in phase 2 the wc is _inconsistent_
  but a subsequent "update" call can resume the update and everything
  should be consistent again (in this case only files are
  copied/renamed (no remote access is needed))

TODO:
- implement update + commit algorithm

If everything works as expected most parts of working copy code
cleanup should be finished after this week.
