[darcs-devel] [issue217] Confusing error message

[simonpj]

New submission from simonpj <simonpj at microsoft.com>:

Darcs gives a deeply confusing error message if you do a non-partial get
from a repository that is itself gotten with --partial.

Here's the setup
	Z:/darcs/fc-branch-2  was gotten with --partial from
http://darcs.haskell.org

Now look at this:

sh-2.04$ darcs get z:/darcs/fc-branch-2 --repo-name fc2
Copying patch 232 of 14125...darcs.exe:
z:/darcs/fc-branch-2/_darcs/patches/20060407123745-26c35-9cc93f704b57914
7046533f0ed6a8c5ba3a03579.gz: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such
file or directory)

Note the strange message!

Try again with --partial, it's ok

sh-2.04$ rm -rf fc2
sh-2.04$ darcs get --partial z:/darcs/fc-branch-2 --repo-name fc2
Copying patch 231 of 231... done!

Simon
