I built the stable branch today on my Windows machine, and it fails to push

darcs failed: Not a repository:

Is this the correct behaviour, or should it be backwards compatible? Do I
need to upgrade the remote repository?
No, this is not expected behavior, we should be backwards compatible. :(
I'm not sure what causes this, but would definitely like to fix it. It is
clearly a bug in the repository-identification code, but I'm not sure what
the bug is.
Mystery solved. There seems to be a bug in darcs, but it's a minor one.
I pointed darcs at the wrong place; the location I gave is not actually a
repository. In this situation, darcs used to say "not a repository", in
the current stable branch it gives the above error about failing to load
hashed_inventory. Does that give you enough to go on? You should be able
to reproduce it.
Cheers,
Simon
