[darcs-devel] [issue218] Patch bundle failed hash

[simonpj]

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

Dear darcs developers

Still struggling.  I'm using darcs 1.0.8 on Windows.

I'm on Windows, trying to push a patch to
	Darcs.haskell.org/ghc-fc
(a repository Simon and I have just created, with darcs get --partial
from the main HEAD).

Two problems.

1 (minor): there's an irritating (and perhaps ominous) message from ssh
(below).

2 (fatal): all goes well to begin with; then the push fails with 

darcs failed:  Patch bundle failed hash!
This probably means that the patch has been corrupted by a mailer.
The most likely culprit is CRLF newlines.

The "likely culprit" indeed seems likely.  I'm pushing from Windows to
darcs.haskell.org which runs Unix.  But the patch has never left the
repository, and has never been near a mailer.

What do I do?

Thanks

Simon

sh-2.04$ darcs push
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
  -l user     Log in using this user name.
  -n          Redirect input from /dev/null.
  -A          Enable authentication agent forwarding.
  -a          Disable authentication agent forwarding.
  -X          Enable X11 connection forwarding.
  -x          Disable X11 connection forwarding.
  -i file     Identity for public key authentication (default:
~/.ssh/identity)
  -t          Tty; allocate a tty even if command is given.
  -T          Do not allocate a tty.
  -v          Verbose; display verbose debugging messages.
              Multiple -v increases verbosity.
  -V          Display version number only.
  -P          Don't allocate a privileged port.
  -q          Quiet; don't display any warning messages.
  -f          Fork into background after authentication.
  -e char     Set escape character; ``none'' = disable (default: ~).
  -c cipher   Select encryption algorithm: ``3des'', ``blowfish''
  -m macs     Specify MAC algorithms for protocol version 2.
  -p port     Connect to this port.  Server must be on the same port.
  -L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address
  -R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address
              These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and
              forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.
  -C          Enable compression.
  -N          Do not execute a shell or command.
  -g          Allow remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
  -1          Force protocol version 1.
  -2          Force protocol version 2.
  -4          Use IPv4 only.
  -6          Use IPv6 only.
  -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration
file.
  -s          Invoke command (mandatory) as SSH2 subsystem.

  * Remove compiler from the boring list (how did it get there?)
Shall I push this patch? (1/2)  [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: y

  * Massive patch for the first months work adding System FC to GHC

  This is (sadly) all done in one patch to avoid Darcs bugs.
  It's not complete work... more FC stuff to come.  A compiler
  using just this patch will fail dismally.
Shall I push this patch? (2/2)  [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: y
