[darcs-devel] [issue1031] ssh push to empty directory gives "old darcs on server" warning

[Petr Ročkai]

New submission from Petr Ročkai <me at mornfall.net>:

17:03:00 | morn at eri:~/dev/darcs/cabalised -> darcs push
anna.fi.muni.cz:~/dev/public/cabalised-morn                                                           
NOTE: the server is running a version of darcs prior to 2.0.0.

This means that you may see error messages fetching files such as
_darcs/prefs/format, which you can safely ignore.  Installing
darcs 2 on the server will eliminate these error messages and also
speed up ssh-based commands, such as darcs push.

scp: /home/xrockai/dev/public/cabalised-morn/_darcs/format: No such file or
directory
scp: /home/xrockai/dev/public/cabalised-morn/_darcs/inventory: No such file or
directory
                                                                         
darcs failed:  Not a repository: anna.fi.muni.cz:~/dev/public/cabalised-morn
((scp) failed to fetch: anna.fi.muni.cz:~/dev/public/cabalised-

(The problem is that the warning here is ill-given.)
