  I've gotten a comment on my blog post on this topic that explains

what's happening: the "copy" command on a mercurial repository expects

you to perform the copy in the filesystem first.  If not, it fails

silently (well, it prints the error message, but it doesn't throw an

exception or anything).  So I patched tailor to do the copy first, and

it seems to work OK.  (see the attached patch)


  I don't know if there's a better solution (e.g., something as simple

as using shellutils).  Another reply on this bug suggested that tailor

should be rewritten to use a different API.  That may be, but OTOH this

would be a reasonable temporary fix if it doesn't break anything else.


Your changes seem to be copy ops.  The problem I had (and you seemed to be having) was with moves.  I've attached the changes I made for this (you can use ``darcs apply'' to apply them) if you want to see if it helps you with your issues.
