The upstream repo somehow got corrupted. When this happens it is usually not darcs fault but some other program that has recursed down into the _darcs metadata dir and accidently modified darcs's internal views of the repo. But sometimes it has shown to be bugs in darcs that corrupts a repo. Two such bugs were fixed in 1.0.6; one could happen with 'darcs get --tag' on a repo with "out of order" patches, and one could happen when applying hunk patches with special conditions. It is probably impossible to tell from just a corrupted repo if one of these bugs caused the corruption, or if there is still a bug in darcs. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
