Package: tla
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: normal
I'm relatively new to tla and I don't like it very much because it
promises to always keep an archive in a clean state but doesn't.
I mirrored [email protected] into my home directory
and extracted a working copy out of it. Then I changed some files and
tried to do "tla make-log" and "tla commit". The commit fails with
arch_commit: unable to acquire revision lock (internal error in
archive-fs.c(fs_lock_revision))
As soon as this has happened, the state of the archive seems rather bad.
