--- Begin Message ---Package: tailor Version: 0.9.28-1 Severity: normal I'm trying to convert a darcs repository to mercurial, using tailor to preserve history. After a long run, tailor produced a repository whose working directory was identical to my starting repository. Great! ... or so I thought. So, I cloned the output repository, and almost immediately banged up against the following problem: When files are renamed in a darcs repository, tailor follows the rename *in the working copy*, but treats it as a *deletion* from the repository. Here's the simplest test case I could produce: ========== SNIP HERE =========== cd /tmp mkdir tailor-test cd tailor-test mkdir foo cd foo darcs init echo "This is some data" > A darcs add A && darcs record -a -m "Adding A" darcs mv A B && darcs record -a -m "Renaming A" cd .. cat > foo.tailor << EOF [DEFAULT] verbose = True [foo] target = hg:target start-revision = INITIAL revision = HEAD root-directory = /tmp/tailor-test/wd state-file = tailor.state source = darcs:source [hg:target] repository = /tmp/tailor-test/bar subdir = hg [darcs:source] repository = /tmp/tailor-test/foo subdir = darcs EOF tailor -c foo.tailor hg clone wd/hg hg2 ================== CUT HERE ================ After you run these commands, /tmp/tailor-test/wd/hg will be an apparently identical copy of /tmp/tailor-test/foo. However, if you cd into it and check the status of B, you'll see that it isn't actually added to the repository: daniel@emurlahn-sid:/tmp/tailor-test/wd/hg$ hg status B ? B And indeed, the final "clone" creates a clone that has A in the history, but only records its deletion, not a rename patch.
