My understanding is that there's a merge script that's run at 2AM every night. That's why you get the "auto-merge" messages with that timestamp. It's from there that another script (which I don't control) does an rsync with the external tree. That one might be coming later in the day.
This is yet one more reason why going to the single SVN repository will be *so* welcome. We won't have these types of errors again. >> And >> why does there have to be a mirror in the first place?

An alternative is to take the SVN messages posted here and update your llvm-gcc repository yourself. In truth, the number of changes to the llvm-gcc rep. aren't nearly the number that goes into LLVM proper, so the amount of pain it takes to merge in the patches by hand isn't as great. And it would only be for another month. :-) -bw _______________________________________________ llvm-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits
