Hi,
I just tried to upgrade from sage-4.7 to sage-4.7.1 on
mod.math.washington.edu using "sage -upgrade", and get stopped by
There are uncommitted changes in the Sage root repository. Aborting.
This is some test done in sage-update. I have complaints:
(1) This error message is confusing. What's the "Sage root
repository"? I could maybe understand "the repository in
SAGE_ROOT". I can't imagine most people understanding this message.
At a bare minimum, it would be good to have a link to a wiki page.
(2) There error message is just plain wrong (!):
wstein@mod:/usr/local/sage$ hg diff
wstein@mod:/usr/local/sage$ hg ci
nothing changed
The reason it is being raised is because it uses "hg status".
Evidently, in (my?) sage-4.7, because of .hgignore missing something,
this results in:
wstein@mod:/usr/local/sage$ hg status |wc -l
7843
Anyway, this was part of trac
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9433. Of course, I'll
just comment out the test in sage-update so I can get on with things:
(1) comment out the " #sys.exit(2)" in "local/bin/sage-update"
(2) .../local/bin$ sage -hg ci
