Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 2 Private: No Submitted By: Peer Sommerlund (peso) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Clone to empty folder fails Initial Comment: Version: 0.2 If an existing empty folder "foo" is specified as destination the clone fails with message "*** destination 'C:\foo' already exists" Workaround is to delete folder before cloning. I would have expected an error if I tried to clone to an existing repository, but not to an empty folder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Doug Philips (dgou) Date: 2008-04-13 09:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=392583 Originator: NO This is really annoying because the GUI interface "browse" has a "new folder button" that encourages the user to say: "Oh, I see, I have to make the new folder that I want to clone into so that -I can --select-- it-. I struggled with this for 10 frustrating minutes before I finally realized that I had to NOT make the new folder name. Instead I had to: select the parent click into the destination box type in the new folder name at the end of the path. That combined with --lack-- of defaulting the source to the folder on which I used the "create clone" menu/context-menu option to start with made this a triply frustrating experience. Claiming that the underlying command line interface works differently doesn't hold much water. My coworkers will bitch up a storm because that is not how other Windows GUIs treat the "New Folder" options when creating and saving files, etc. Can we get the selected folder to be the default source (if it is a repo or subdirectory of one) for 0.4? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-01-25 11:01 Message: Logged In: NO It's a behavior of hg clone. I don't feel it's safe to assume it's okay to overwrite an existing directory. Empty or otherwise. -TK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=968354&aid=1879567&group_id=199155 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
