I have a WIP branch as control_command_refactor; there are a few more tests and commands to go.

Now it handles all the commands, and 'test-stem' passes. PR at https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/919

So far, I looked at

d1f5957c4e Improve handling of controller commands

through

e3fcbffbb8 Use parsing code for the simpler controller commands.

These look good. I commented on the pull request about a few technical debt issues and some minor spelling and naming things.

This set of commits seems to form a logical grouping and they could probably have been in their own child ticket/PR.

Looking at

bb2062dd76 kvline: handle empty alues as well as empty keys

through

5d3dcd6fc9 Update more controller commands, now that we have kvline support

Overall this looks good, and deletes a lot of repetitive code.

There's a typo in the bb2062dd76 summary.

See technical debt comment in the pull request for control_cmd_parse_args(), and maybe a few more minor comments.

Okay, I've caught up on the requested revisions.

Looking at

3eed319e4f Use new parser logic for SETCONF/RESETCONF code.

through

62695a9307 squash! kvline: handle empty alues as well as empty keys

Overall this looks good! I like how much smaller control_setconf_helper() became.

I wrote a few small comments on the pull request.

Updated the branch, responded to comments. Ready to go?
