[darcs-devel] [issue479] annotate error misleading in partial repo

[Trent Buck]

New submission from Trent Buck <trentbuck at gmail.com>:

This is confusing:

    $ darcs anno .Xdefaults

    darcs failed:  There is no file or directory named '.Xdefaults'

because .Xdefaults is clearly managed by darcs:

    $ darcs w -s .Xdefaults
    What's new in ".Xdefaults":

    M ./.Xdefaults -1 +1

I presume the problem is really that I'm using a partially-gotten repo:

    $ darcs cha .Xdefaults
    Changes to .Xdefaults:

    Mon May 21 22:31:23 EST 2007  Trent Buck <>
      * .Xdefaults: more consistent fonts.
    Can't find changes prior to:
    Sun May 20 00:18:08 EST 2007  Trent Buck <trentbuck at gmail.com>
      * .emacs-prefs/rcirc.el: nonstupid log dir.

It would be nice if darcs annotate gave a less obtuse error.
