[darcs-devel] [issue2677] pull --reorder fails to copy patches

[Ben Franksen]

Ben Franksen <ben.franksen at online.de> added the comment:

So far I wasn't able to reproduce with a simple example repo.

However, I think I found the bug. I ran the pull --reorder command 
with --debug and searched for the file name in question. The only 
ocurrence was when it said:

In fetchFileUsingCachePrivate I'm directly grabbing file contents 
from /home/ben/scratch/branch-2.16/_darcs/patches/0000003658-
8f452a132bf0b0e17f177c51ae6aefb0fb29fbb8e42506710d6bd08589336d6d

Looking at the place where this message is issued in 
Darcs.Util.Cache.fetchFileUsingCachePrivate, there is a comment 
saying

-- FIXME: create links in caches

Indeed, when I add a the missing call to link the file across all 
writable locations, the bug disappears, which can also be seen in 
the debug output.
