Subject: BEWARE: mkdelta is broken
Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 21:32:19 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.62.0505262125050.16151@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Please don't use mkdelta on a valuable repository for the time being.
The current delta loop detection logic is broken. So if you have
multiple merged branches or you have a changeset that revert things then
you might end up with a delta loop and fsck-cache will effectively
complain about unresolved deltas and assorted dangling/broken object
links.
I'm working on a fix right now.
Nicolas
