[Monotone-debian] Bug#574512: monotone: mtn sync fails with 'fatal' error message

[Francis Russell]

Package: monotone
Version: 0.47-1
Severity: important


mtn produces an alarming error message when syncing. It doesn't appear to be
related to different versions of mtn talking to each other as I can easily
replicate with a sync between two databases on the same system.

$ mtn db init -d /tmp/mtn1.db
$ mtn db init -d /tmp/mtn2.db
$ mtn sync -d /tmp/mtn1.db file:///tmp/mtn2.db '*'
mtn: setting default server to file:///tmp/mtn2.db
mtn: setting default branch include pattern to '*'
mtn: setting default branch exclude pattern to ''
mtn: connecting to file:///tmp/mtn2.db
mtn: finding items to synchronize:
mtn: successful exchange with file:///tmp/mtn2.db
mtn:  bytes in | bytes out | revs in
mtn:       151 |       160 |     0/0
mtn: fatal: error: network/session_base.cc:82: I(!is_pipe_pair())
mtn: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.
mtn: please send this error message, the output of 'mtn version --full',
mtn: and a description of what you were doing to address@hidden
mtn: wrote debugging log to /home/fpr/.monotone/dump
mtn: if reporting a bug, please include this file

Just for completeness:
