Re: [Monotone-devel] Bug report: monotone add command fails on Windows

[Howard Spindel]

Roger,

I'm a monotone relative newbie too, but a couple things look off to 
me.  I'll reply now in case the regular monotone guys don't see your 
post for a while in case I'm helpful.

First, you have created the database learn.db within the same 
directory structure as the working copy.  That really seems off to 
me, and it gives you the potential of trying to check in a copy of 
the database to itself.  I'd move the database to another part of 
your directory tree altogether.

Second, the "database" line in MT/options is weird because it's using 
the shorthand 8 letter filename instead of the full name 
"OpenSourceCode".  After you fix the first point, this line should 
change.  Check it again, and if it continues to use a shorthand 
filename I'd edit it so it shows the full filename.  The debug trace 
shows that monotone couldn't find your MT directory, and perhaps 
that's because of the shorthand file name.

I'm sure if I'm off that the real gurus will give you the right 
answer, but at least this gives you something to try.

Regards,
Howard
