Will also split this into 1 diff per commit.

Build has FAILED

In any case, still no longer works today. So might be time to fix it or remove it altogether (if unused and fix solely the incremental one).

So i believe the full lister implementation never worked (looks like a copy/paste from github lister's, db_partition_indice implem. cannot work here).

The incremental one is mostly ok though (as already mentioned, it's not complete).

@douardda As discussed orally, as i was unsure it ran at the time, I checked and yes.
We have data in the swh-lister db (~214 entries listed in table bitbucket_repo).
It ran around 2017-06-28 13:13:30.077108 (most probably prior to the scheduler existence).

Heads up, a priori, there is a bootstrap step missing.
@olasd told me it's possible we need to start an incremental one first (thanks).

@fiendish it does, but shouldn't be needed. When you push the accepted revision via git, differential should close the corresponding diff automatically.

Formatted the test responses and added commentary on the life goals of tasks.

LGTM, i just followed up to a couple of minor pending issues — some are new, some follow-up to previous comments.

what does this button do?

shot at making the lister base and intermediate classes agnostic to the transport layer

Good job!

Clarified the annotations inline.

A lot of comments inline, I only reviewed the base class for now.

updated requirements

rebase on origin/master, more tests + bug fixes

Awesome. Seems good to me.

longer tests, more refactoring
