I'm sorry to be asking basic usage questions again. I have no trouble with the everyday use of monotone -- mind you, the everyday commands are add, drop, sync, and update and they are pretty simple once everything has been set up.
But I don't clone often. I don't set up new databases often, and I regret to say that I still need to ask on this list every time I do it. I always seem to do something wrong. Today it's cloning a database from a server to a new machine. Is clone even the right way to do this? I could perhaps fall back to the more specific nonamalgameted commands. hendrik@midwinter:~$ mtn clone --db=~/.monotone/databases/howto.mtn --key hend...@midwinter.topoi.pooq.com mtn://topoi.pooq.com/howto?com.pooq.hendrik.howto --branch=com.pooq.hendrik.howto howto mtn: connecting to 'mtn://topoi.pooq.com/howto' mtn: include pattern 'com.pooq.hendrik.howto' mtn: exclude pattern '' mtn: finding items to synchronize: mtn: successful exchange with 'mtn://topoi.pooq.com/howto' mtn: bytes in | bytes out | certs in mtn: 351 | 701 | 0/0 mtn: misuse: branch 'com.pooq.hendrik.howto' is empty hendrik@midwinter:~$ and listing the branches agrees. hendrik@midwinter:~$ mtn -d ~/.monotone/databases/howto.mtn list branches hendrik@midwinter:~$ The thing is, listing the branches on the server does *not* agree: hendrik@april:~$ mtn -d ~/.monotone/databases/howto.mtn list branches com.pooq.topoi.howto hendrik@april:~$ (yes, the computer identifying itself as april in indeed also topoi. That's not the problem) Somehow I've missed out on doing something. I'm hoping other eyes will see what I don't. Here's are the relevant usher stanzas I use on the server userpass "hendrik" "notmypassword" monotone "/usr/bin/mtn" "-k" "hend...@topoi.pooq.com" listenaddr "0.0.0.0:4691" adminaddr "127.0.0.3:12345" logdir "/farhome/hendrik/monotone/usher-log/" server "howto" host "0.0.0.0" pattern "com.pooq.topoi.howto" local "-d" "/farhome/hendrik/.monotone/databases/howto.mtn" -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
