[darcs-users] bug with exotic file names?

hullo,
I have made some further inquiries:
- Upgrading to 1.0.9rc2 (release candidate 2) has no effect.
- 'darcs get' into a fresh clone of the repo or 'darcs repair' have
no effect (both go through without complaints, ie repair does
nothing). The clone repo comes with the file that I managed to
insert earlier.
- 'darcs remove' produces this error message:
$ darcs failed: Can't remove fig_I01:crypto:security:hierarchy_of_attacks.png
I am very fond of darcs, but I think error handling is one of the
weakest points of this system. There could be a lot more internal
error message passing in the code, but of course now it would take up
a considerable amount of time to add that.
I have thumbed through the code a little and think the problem is in
SlurpDirectory. But it would take me too long now to take it all in,
so I decided to post this update.
Does anybody have an idea how to proceed? I am little desparate,
since I am on a tight schedule on this project and the repo seems to
be in an inconsistent state right now.
thanks,
matthias
