Follow-up Comment #5, bug #53508 (project octave):
I get the point, but it's still odd that someone has to remove a file that
Octave built in order to make the source control system function on historical
versions. Yes, just delete the build-aux/move-if-change file.
Principle-wise, it means one is doing
hg purge --all
hg checkout release-4-2-2
anyway if the goal is to avoid deleting all the object files and save time
recompiling.
The alternative is that
hg checkout release-4-2-2
hg checkout dev
will have lost the move-if-change link so one would have to do
./bootstrap
make
Would that mean recompiling all the object files?
Also, the executable move-if-change is with the repository after cloning. Can
Mercurial just store a symbolic link in its record? If so, then
build-aux/move-if-change could be removed from .hgignore and it would work
whether it's a link or actual file.
