[darcs-devel] [issue1855] Unhelpful meessage

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

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

Dear Darcs developers

I did a 'darcs push' to the 'nofib' repo, but I was in the 'ghc' directory.  That's  a silly thing to do, but the error message was terrible! (Indeed it may be a crash message.)

 Could it not say that you are trying to push to an utterly unrelated repo?

This is darcs 2.2.1 on Windows

$ darcs push simonpj at darcs.haskell.org:/home/darcs/nofib
darcs.exe: bug in get_extra commuting patches:
First patch is:
Wed Apr 29 14:47:23 GMT Daylight Time 1998  simonm
  * [project @ 1998-04-29 13:47:23 by simonm]
  - NoFibHcOpts = -O by default.
Second patch is:
Thu Apr 28 10:46:25 GMT Daylight Time 2005  simonmar
  * [project @ 2005-04-28 09:46:25 by simonmar]
  Run each nofib program multiple times, tunable by the $(NoFibRuns)
  variable.  nofib-analyse already knows how to average the times from
  multiple runs.
