Package: unison
Version: 2.13.16-5
Severity: normal

When you run unison ssh://otherbox/athing athing
and unison decides that it should run a merge procedure, things fail
if and only if the remote root comes first.

unison errors out with the following message:
---
Uncaught exception File 
"/home/gildor/deb/unison/build-area/unison-2.13.16/files.ml", line 661, 
characters 11-17: Assertion failed
---

and the code in question says:
---
....assert false (* roots are sorted: first root is always local *)
(* FIX: I (JV) believe this assumption is wrong: roots are not sorted... *)
(* Sigh.  Fixing this will require some restructuring of the following... *) 
---

If you swap the roots around, everything works fine. 

Fix: I have no quick one, but as a workaround it would be nice if the docs
mentioned that the sequence of roots is essential at least 
in the merging case, maybe others.
