That is a bad idea. The ancestry (according to CONTINUATION) is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/cqs--mainline--0.1--patch-6 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/cqs--ulfjack--0.1--version-0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/cqs--mainline--0.2--version-0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/cqs--mainline--0.2 That old archive may not even exist anymore. (I'm actually wondering that it is still registered.) What's worse is that it first commited the patch to the archive, then went to look for the archive and DID NOT mark the tree has having the patch. I had to Ctrl-C it because I didn't have network at that time and when I tried to continue with tla, tla told me that the tree was not up-to-date. So i tla updated it and - guess what - I got a conflict. Why would it go looking for the ancestry anyway? > I think there was a bug at one point where when trying to create the > ancestry, baz did not consider the fact that the ancestry was already > generated at an earlier stage.

I only have a slow (yet expensive) dialup line and that is already a pain. If the tools don't work properly without network, that is unacceptable. Thanks for your help. Cheers, -- Ulf
