Hello,
I'm a very happy darcs user but recently I got a very strange error.
I tried to execute:
darcs mv ./gsom/lattice.hs ./gsom/node.hs generic/
and it failed with the following error:
darcs failed: There is no file or dir named Gsom/lattice.hs in the
working directory.
although the file is there, as a 'darcs show files' shows:
darcs show files
.
./gsom.cabal
./Setup.lhs
./LICENSE
./gsom
./gsom/node.hs
./gsom/lattice.hs
./gsom/input.hs
./tests.hs
./TODO
./gsom.hs
./README
I have to say that I got a similar error earlier as I was trying to
'darcs add gsom/node.hs' where darcs complained that it wasn't
allowed to create the directory Gsom since there was already
a directory gsom.
I was able to correct both the errors by simply pulling into a
fresh repository. There both actions ran fine so it may very well
be that the filesystem is somehow messed up and the error is
actually on my side but if not then I at least wanted to tell you
that something like this could happen.
I'm on Mac OS X Tiger and the darcs version is the one from
MacPorts i.e. 2.1.2 (release).
Cheers (and big thanks for making darcs exist)
Stephan Günther
