Requiring every payload file to be in every payload manifest #2

Closed justinlittman closed 6 years ago

justinlittman commented 6 years ago

Currently, every payload file must be in at least one payload manifest. The proposal is to change this to require every payload file to be in every payload manifest.

The motivation for this is that it reflects actual real world usage and reduces errors. However, it would mean that some existing bags may not be forward compatible with version 1.0.

Please add comments to this ticket.

Also please comment if you have bags that this change would cause problems so that we can gauge how widespread this issue is.

Based on discussion with @johnscancella and @jkunze, agree with this change with the caveat that it be identified that this is a change in BagIt 1.0.

@justinlittman @jkunze let me know if you want me to change the wording.
