[darcs-devel] [issue1878] broken repo: Missing items in index (2.4.4)

[Lennart Kolmodin]

Right, and now the remote site is also using darcs 2.4.4.
Would it have worked better if we would use the darcs2 format?

You can scp -r code.haskell.org:/srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell to get a copy of the repo.
Then 'darcs get gentoo-haskell filesystem-copy' to make a local copy.

Then, I'd assume, the gentoo-haskell/_darcs and filesystem-copy/_darcs should look fairly the same?
The local copy is called 'g-h2' in this run:

Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs: email
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs: fixed_files
Files srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/index and g-h2/_darcs/index differ
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/inventories: 0000049760-4f815e3247649e344e6d283d82ebc4b0ee8a4a7ba69f93274c05f5f6728021e4
[snip, lots of more files]
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/inventories: 0000096215-4d3315ad3ba2d3cc5095db5397be01b867b3d8c9cb661f45e45094dd80cbd4b8
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/patches: pending
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/patches: unrevert
Files srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/prefs/binaries and g-h2/_darcs/prefs/binaries differ
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/prefs: defaults
Only in srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/prefs: email
Files srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/prefs/motd and g-h2/_darcs/prefs/motd differ
Files srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/prefs/repos and g-h2/_darcs/prefs/repos differ
Only in g-h2/_darcs/prefs: sources
Only in g-h2/_darcs/: tentative_hashed_inventory
Files srv/code/gentoo/gentoo-haskell/_darcs/tentative_pristine and g-h2/_darcs/tentative_pristine differ

So, by large the directories are identical, but there are several files missing from the 'filesystem-copy'.

I'm afraid I don't know exactly what the different directories represent, maybe it's documented in the manual?
