[darcs-devel] [issue1036] Intermittent failure

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

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

Darcs fails with a "Not a repository error", but succeeds if the same command is repeatd.

I'm afraid I accidentally used darcs 1.0.9 on this occasion rather than darcs 2 (it's much faster), so you may not be interested, but I'm in "report all darcs crashes" mode, so here you are.

On Windows.
