Hi,
I wrote a mail like this before but to no avail. There seems to be a bug
in vc-mtn.el that leeds to dataloss and therefore is very serious
IMHO. I suspected org.el in the first place, but it turned out, that the
bogous behaviour happens only, when starting emacs in a directory under
monotone version controll.
I'll try to describe some of the strange events here and add more
information in subsequent mails when available.
* case 1
I start emacs in an monotone workspace directory with an existent
filename as argument:
sh$ emacs existent.php
emacs starts as expected. Now I try to open a non-existent file in the
same directory, using
M-x non-existent.php
The debug-message:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
file-truename(nil)
find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer non-existent.php>
"~/develop/htdocs/shop/php5/web/non-existent.php" nil nil
"~/develop/htdocs/shop/php5/web/non-existent.php" nil)
find-file-noselect("~/develop/htdocs/shop/php5/web/non-existent.php" nil nil
t)
find-file("~/develop/htdocs/shop/php5/web/non-existent.php" t)
call-interactively(find-file nil nil)
A second attempt succeeds. This case is reproducable here.
* case 2:
Edit an *.org file in a monotone workspace directory. The org file is
under monotone control. Then I try to export the org file as HTML by
C-c C-e h
The HTML file does not exist yet, and is not registered in
monotone. This is the one that can lead to data loss, since an
arbitrary file is overridden. Preferably one of the files recently
edited in emacs.
This one is especially anoying. One time it turned my .emacs into a
human readable file --- but an XHTML file :(
System is Debian testing and:
- GNU emacs 23.0.60.2 (CVS version of today)
(setq debug-on-error t)
- sh$ mtn --version
monotone 0.36 (base revision: e4bc808d89e029ce623f9e8f2b10c84006b83fb5)

Sebastian
