--- Begin Message ---Package: tailor Version: 0.9.28-1 Severity: normal Say I have a darcs repository called "head" and I use the following configuration, which is approximately what the tailor README suggests: =============== CUT HERE ================ [DEFAULT] verbose = True [project] target = darcs:target start-revision = INITIAL root-directory = /tmp/tailor state-file = tailor.state source = darcs:source subdir = tailortmp [darcs:target] repository = /tmp/tailor/foo [darcs:source] repository = /tmp/tailor/head ============================================ Running this through tailor produces the following output: 11:57:42 [I] Bootstrapping "project" in "/tmp/tailor" 11:57:42 [I] /tmp/tailor/tailortmp $ darcs initialize 11:57:42 [I] [Ok] 11:57:42 [I] $ darcs changes --xml-output --repo /tmp/tailor/head --reverse 11:57:42 [I] [Ok] 11:57:42 [I] /tmp/tailor/tailortmp $ darcs changes --last 1 --xml-output 11:57:42 [I] [Ok] 11:57:42 [C] Checkout of project failed!

(2) Read the information of the first change in that repository, which doesn't exist since it's empty. (3) Explode. BOOM! It appears that manually doing a "darcs get" to create the pristine copy works around the bug, but I don't think this should be necessary?
