[darcs-devel] [issue1067] darcs 2.0.2 (+ 76 patches) fails where darcs 1.0.9 (release) succeeds (windows, ghc repo, get)

[Claus Reinke]

New submission from Claus Reinke <claus.reinke at talk21.com>:

I just tried to use 'darcs get' to make a local copy of the
ghc repo and was surprised to see it fail, as I was sure that
this used to work (on windows locally only, of course). And 
indeed:

$ export PATH=`echo $PATH | sed 's/d\/darcs/d\/darcs1/'`

$ darcs --version
1.0.9 (release)

$ darcs get c:/fptools/ghc
Copying patch 19412 of 19412... done.
Finished getting.

$ mv ghc/ ghc1

$ ls
ghc1/

$ export PATH=`echo $PATH | sed 's/d\/darcs1/d\/darcs/'`

$ darcs --version
2.0.2 (+ 76 patches)

$ darcs get c:/fptools/ghc
Unapplicable patch:

darcs failed:  File './ghc/includes/RtsTypes.lh' already exists!

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 cr3-lt 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

There doesn't seem to be a 'darcs info' to get format information
on a repo, but I haven't changed the default format, if that helps.

I haven't timed it, but darcs2 also seems slower and proceeding
in short sprints while darcs1 seems to make continuous progress.

On the way, I also noticed that 'darcs2 check' fails with the
same message, but that has already been reported, it seems
(http://bugs.darcs.net/issue971). That also happens with darcs1,
surprisingly (I seem to recall running 'darcs1 check' on a full
ghc repo in the past; but now, I get the same unapplicable patch).
