New submission from simonpj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Twice in the last couple of days I've gotten this: (darcs 1.0.8)
darcs failed: user error (Error applying patch to working dir:
./darcs-all-0: renameFile: permission denied (Permission
denied))
This may have left your working directory an inconsistent
but recoverable state. If you had no un-recorded changes
by using 'darcs revert' you should be able to make your
working directory consistent again.
This isn't very helpful! At the very least it'd help to say *which*
file is permission denied for. And "user error" sounds like my fault,
but I don't know what I did wrong.
And much worse, while the message helpfully says what to do if you have
no changes in your tree, it leaves you high and dry if you do! Do I
just have to abandon my work? Fortunately in this case I think I am in
the no-change state --- but it doesn't look as if I have any way to find
out whether or not I am in that state. Alas.
(The trouble with a revision-control system is that it's holding the
crown jewels, so your users are more than usually sensitive about bugs!)
