Package: tla
Version: 1.3-1
Severity: normal

I use signing archives, so all changesets are GPG signed.  However,
if the signing fails (example: I forgot to plug in the USB key),
I can't retry the commit because the revision lock isn't removed:


$ tla import
gpg: keyblock resource `/home/rleigh/.pen-secure/.gnupg/secring.gpg':
file open error
gpg: keyblock resource `/home/rleigh/.pen-secure/.gnupg/pubring.gpg':
file open error

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Roger Leigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 25BFB848, created 2001-01-26

signature command exited with non-0 status (2)

command: gpg --clearsign


(You may also have to use tla lock-revision -b before
 retrying this transaction.  See tla lock-revision -H)


unable to complete transaction due to signature failure
$ tla import
arch_import: unable to acquire revision lock (could not rename file.)
    tree: /home/rleigh/projects/warehouse-0.1
    revision: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/warehouse--mainline--0.1--base-0

$ tla lock-revision -A [EMAIL PROTECTED] -b warehouse--mainline--0.1--base-0
$ tla import
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Roger Leigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 25BFB848, created 2001-01-26
* imported [EMAIL PROTECTED]/warehouse--mainline--0.1


While it's possible to fix and resume, the failure mode is not really
very good.  The command to break the lock is not intuitive, particularly
to an arch beginner, and since the failure is not due to an exceptional
circumstance (lack of private key, passphrase incorrect etc.) I should
really just be able to retry the operation and continuie without
hindrance.


Regards,
Roger
