[darcs-devel] [issue970] darcs check fails

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>:

Incidentally I expect you already know this, but 'darcs check' doesn't work (on Windows at least) on the GHC repo, even with darcs 2.0.  I recall something to do with a case error but I thought darcs 2 fixed that.  Maybe not.  Or maybe not with the existing GHC repo anyway.

Of course, for anyone who doesn't already know that 'darcs check' fails, it's terribly unsettling.  Is my repo so corrupt that it crashes darcs?  A more polite error message such as "You can't run check on this repository because..." would be much better.

Dump below.

PS: in my previous message about an infinite loop I should have said that I'm on Windows.  Apologies.

Simon
