I'm trying to convert an existing etckeeper (/etc) git repository to
darcs using your darcs-fast-import. It tells me:
$ ( cd ../etc && git fast-export --all ) |
../darcs-fast-export/darcs-fast-import
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../darcs-fast-export/darcs-fast-import", line 295, in <module>
h.handle()
File "../darcs-fast-export/darcs-fast-import", line 277, in handle
self.handle_commit()
File "../darcs-fast-export/darcs-fast-import", line 182, in handle_commit
sock = open(path, "w")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Muttrc.d/charset.rc'
Here are the versions I'm using:
$ darcs --version
2.2.0 (release)
$ git --version
git version 1.6.2.1
darcs-fast-export $ git describe --tags
0.8-11-g90e0151
I believe this is because git implicitly creates / deletes directories
as needed by child files, whereas Darcs has explicit adddir and rmdir
patch primitives.
Please note that due to http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1177, adddir should
IMO be a separate patch from the first child added. Summary:
Attached is a patch against bugs/ that demonstrates the problem:
accidentally recording an adddir d along with an initial file d/f
that doesn't have any special significance other than the user
happened to record it first. Other files in d/ then become
impossible to cherry-pick without also picking d/f.
Obviously I cannot disclose the /etc repository itself, as it contains
confidential information.
