[darcs-devel] darcs patch: fail on error in get_patches_beyond_tag. (and 6 more)

[David Roundy]

Hi all,

This is a big bundle of all the changes I've made this week.  The net
result is that hashed inventories now pass the complete test suite.  I
haven't yet run any testing with combo repositories that have both a hashed
and an old-fashioned inventory.  That comes next.

But at this point, when working by themselves, hashed inventories pass the
entire test suite, and I'd encourage interested persons to start testing
them.  If you find a bug, it's something that isn't tested in the test
suite, and adding it to the test suite will be a *very* good thing to do.

Another feature that would be interesting to add now would be lazily
partial repositories.  With the hashed inventory, we should be able to
relatively easily make a repository that will download the patches lazily
(as they are required), but then cache them.  This should solve most (all?
many?) of the issues the ghc folks have been having with partial
repositories.

Also, it would be good to have a "check hash" mode that verifies that the
patch files actually have the hash their filename promises.  And darcs
check should also always verify this, for hashed repositories.

  * fail on error in get_patches_beyond_tag.
  This will expose any bugs where we use this function wrongly.
  (As was the case in darcs check --partial with hashed inventories.)
