I seem to have a data base that I can sync with (from one client system) but cannot clone (to another ckient system). Is this worth preserving to find out why monotone exhibits thie strange behaviour? If so, I'll try to keep it aroung for analysis. If not, I'll just delete it. -- hendrik On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 08:03:23AM -0400, Hendrik Boom wrote: > 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.

[Monotone-devel] Trouble cloning
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?
