[Monotone-devel] monotone: misuse: file disappeared but exists in new manifest

[Kevin Greiner]

Now I'm sending this email for the 3rd time! My apologies if you're
seeing these messages multiple times. My only guess is that a subject
of "monotone list unknown" is somehow preventing the list management
software from sending this email to the list. Quite odd... So this time
I'm changing the subject completely. I'm seeing these messages showing
up in the message archive but I'm not getting copies in my email
client. I suppose the rest of you aren't either since I haven't seen
any replies. 


--------------


I'm working on "vendor branches" and have encountered a specific error
that feels like a bug. I think I'm seeing the same problem
reported here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monotone-devel/2005-02/msg00061.html
but as that question didn't get a response, I don't know if this is acceptable behavior or not.


Given a working copy with a deleted directory (as well as a number of
other changes), I need to drop the missing files and directories prior
to
adding the unknown ones. (For a complete script to recreate this issue,
see the archived message referenced above.) In the following message,
the bar directory
was deleted in the working copy using a filesystem delete but "monotone
drop" hadn't yet been run. Here is the message.




>monotone list unknown


monotone: misuse: file disappeared but exists in new manifest: src/foo/bar/bang.c




Is this generally understood and correct behavior?




Thanks again for everyone's help.
