[darcs-devel] [issue2421] user error (Couldn't fetch ... while cloning large repo

[Lucas Paul]

New submission from Lucas Paul <reilithion+darcsnet at gmail.com>:

1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)
I attempted to clone the entire darcs-2.8 repo:
${here}/dist/build/darcs/darcs get http://darcs.net/releases/branch-2.8
$tmpdir

Note the lack of --lazy

I got the following output:

Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C...
darcs: user error (Couldn't fetch
`0000049111-0bd34d8a802beae0c587e68de8c2ea1b2691b7270ea7f534716cec6ea2fee843'
in subdir pristine.hashed from sources:

thisrepo:/tmp/branch-2.8
cache:/home/lucas/.cache/darcs
readonly:/home/lucas/.darcs/cache
repo:http://darcs.net/releases/branch-2.8
)
Finished cloning.

The repo is actually cloned correctly, it just displays this cryptic
error message that seems to claim it wasn't.

2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?
No error message, as occurs with darcs 2.8.5

3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)
darcs screened at the following patch:
Fri Nov 14 11:29:40 MST 2014  Ben Franksen
<benjamin.franksen at helmholtz-berlin.de>
  * In CommandControl, push the existential down into the alternatives

I used darcs test to try to find the first patch that printed this
error, but ran into problems between 64 and 128 patches back. (cabal
sandbox did stuff I didn't understand)

4. What operating system are you running?
Arch Linux, with fairly recently updated packages.
