[darcs-devel] [issue2282] Attemping to pull from a rebase-in-progress repo shows patch which should never been seen.

[Mark Stosberg]

New submission from Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>:

1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)

I have seen The Patch Which Should Not Be Seen.

I was attempting to pull from a hashed repo in the "rebase-in-progress" 
state. It failed as follows:

###
$ darcs pull -p  10967  ../alpha-without-10782.bak
HINT: if you want to change the default remote repository to
      /home/mark/www/alpha-without-10782.bak,
      quit now and issue the same command with the --set-default flag.

2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

I expected darcs to succeed or fail, not blow up. 

3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)

 2.9.6 (+ 24 patches)

4. What operating system are you running?
 
Ubuntu Linux.  10.04 on EC2.
