[darcs-users] TortoiseDarcs misinterpreting file status

[Wolfgang Jeltsch]

Hello,

I installed TortoiseDarcs on Windows XP.  First, I had to discover that the 
darcs binary provided with it (1.0.6) had a bug which always resulted in 
something like a “missing case alternative” message on some simple darcs 
command (have forgotten which).  Then I exchanged the darcs binary with a 
darcs 1.0.8 one and everything worked fine.

Today, TortoiseDarcs started to behave strangely.  If I create a file, 
TortoiseDarcs interprets it correctly as not being in the repository (grey 
icon).  If I add the file to the repository, it recognizes that the file has 
unrecorded changes (orange icon).  But when I record the file, TortoiseDarcs 
again thinks that the file is not in the repository.  Changing the contents 
of the file doesn't change this situation.  I always get a grey icon and 
haven't a record entry etc. in the context menu.

Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong here?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
