[Monotone-devel] cvssync-refactor

[William Uther]

Hi all, me again :)

  Using this cvssync refactor branch I've got some gotchas/bugs...

Because mtn_cvs is now using mtn automate to get at the database, it  
doesn't seem to have a transaction wrapped about everything any  
more.  This means that if something goes wrong during an mtn_cvs  
operation, the mtn database can be left in an inconsistent state.

Secondly, pull seems to work well.  Push hasn't been tested that much  
yet.  but I note that when I push nothing, I still get changes to the  
cvs history file:

diff -r dgc/CVSROOT/history /home/cvsroot/projects/dgc/CVSROOT/history
20335a20336,20357
> U45f112f7|willu|<remote>*8|dgc-orca/doc/images|1.1|car.png
> U45f112f7|willu|<remote>*8|dgc-orca/doc/images|1.1|car_whitebox.png
> U45f112f7|willu|<remote>*8|dgc-orca/doc/images|1.1|carlocaliser.png
> U45f112f7|willu|<remote>*8|dgc-orca/doc/images|1.1| 
carlocaliser_whitebox.png

It seems to be binary files.  I've never actually committed to that  
CVS repository except for two empty mtn_cvs pushes.  Every push is  
adding those files to the CVS history again.  The file contents  
themselves don't seem to be changing.

Also, I the first empty push also added two text files to the history  
under my name.  They were two files altered in the last commit by  
someone else.  They were pulled into mtn immediately before the empty  
push.  The following empty push didn't add them to the history  again  
(unlike the binary files which were added to the history again).

Be well,

Will        :-}
