[darcs-devel] [issue1030] Darcs failed

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>:

OK, so I managed to get a bit further by sucking patches from darcs.haskell.org into my tree.  (Incidentally, the tree is a pretty pristine one, obtained by unpacking a tarball.)

But then I got the failure below.  Something bad happens in the nofib directory.  Incidentally its defaultrepo file contains
                http://darcs.haskell.org/nofib
as one would expect.

So darcs crashes again, with the disturbing message that it's messed up the repo.

I tried running darcs repair as the message suggests.  But *that* crashed too.

Let's try darcs check. Nope, that crashes too (in the same way, this time).

It seems that virtually anything I do makes darcs crash.   This is the kind of thing that makes me feel so uneasy about darcs.

All with darcs2 on Windows.

Your repository is now in an inconsistent state.
This must be fixed by running darcs repair.
