Does this mean my repo is now corrupted? How do I fix it?
Yeah. An option if you don't need any history after this patch is to use darcs get --to-patch (patch before the problem one) and just throw away the repository with that change in it. The most effective way to fix it if you need the post-error history is to let me at a copy of your repository (it'll take a few days before I have time to look at it). It's also possible to fix it yourself with me giving directions, but I'd like to figure how exactly it's corrupted (since it could be caused by an unfixed bug in darcs) and that's easiest if I can look at the repo myself. Let me know if you can make it available. If you can't, we can go through it over email: I ask you what the patch looks like, you summarize what seem the important parts--or copy and modify contents to remove proprietary info, etc. It just takes more iterations and more time (and there's a greater chance that I'll get tired and fail to figure out what caused the problem, since it's usually easier to fix a corrupt repo than to identify the circumstances that led to its corruption). -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
