<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a repository that my machine only accesses by HTTP, i.e., I intend to put patches in by running darcs myself on the remote machine. I have not installed the CGI on the server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the remote machine, I do:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do darcs initialize</div>
<div>darcs add -r .</div>
<div>darcs record --all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the local machine, I do:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>darcs get <a href="http://path/to/repo">http://path/to/repo</a></div>
<div>darcs whatsnew</div>
<div>"No changes!"</div>
<div>darcs send</div>
<div> </div>
<div>darcs then connects to the repo and tries to download repo/_darcs/format, which doesn't exist.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I found some docs that siuggest that format should be blank, so I do, on the remote machine:</div>
<div>touch repo/_darcs/format</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then try darcs send again from the local machine:</div>
<div>Can't understand repository format: The requested URL repo/.git/darcs-format was not found on this server.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I decided to create that too, and got:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You need to be in a repository directory to run this command.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The darcs version on the remote machine is the statically linked Linux binary, 1.0.7pre1 (unknown).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the local machine it is the Cygwin version, 1.0.7 (release)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps this minor version number is the reason, but I'm not easily able to compile darcs from source right now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any suggestions?</div>
