Package: tailor
Version: 0.9.28-1
Severity: normal
I'm trying to convert a darcs repository to mercurial, using tailor to
preserve history.
After a long run, tailor produced a repository whose working directory
was identical to my starting repository. Great! ... or so I thought.
So, I cloned the output repository, and almost immediately banged up against
the following problem:
When files are renamed in a darcs repository, tailor follows the
rename *in the working copy*, but treats it as a *deletion* from
the repository.
Here's the simplest test case I could produce:
========== SNIP HERE ===========
cd /tmp
mkdir tailor-test
cd tailor-test
mkdir foo
cd foo
darcs init
echo "This is some data" > A
darcs add A && darcs record -a -m "Adding A"
darcs mv A B && darcs record -a -m "Renaming A"
cd ..
cat > foo.tailor << EOF
[DEFAULT]
verbose = True
[foo]
target = hg:target
start-revision = INITIAL
revision = HEAD
root-directory = /tmp/tailor-test/wd
state-file = tailor.state
source = darcs:source
[hg:target]
repository = /tmp/tailor-test/bar
subdir = hg
[darcs:source]
repository = /tmp/tailor-test/foo
subdir = darcs
EOF
tailor -c foo.tailor
hg clone wd/hg hg2
================== CUT HERE ================
After you run these commands, /tmp/tailor-test/wd/hg will be an
apparently identical copy of /tmp/tailor-test/foo. However, if you
cd into it and check the status of B, you'll see that it isn't actually
added to the repository:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/tailor-test/wd/hg$ hg status B
? B
And indeed, the final "clone" creates a clone that has A in the
history, but only records its deletion, not a rename patch.
