[Monotone-devel] "monotone list unknown" fails

[Kevin Greiner]

I sent the following email about 6 hours ago but it still hasn't shown up on the list. My apologies if it shows up twice.

--------------

I'm working on "vendor branches" and have encountered a specific error
that feels like a bug. I think I'm seeing the same problem
reported here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monotone-devel/2005-02/msg00061.html
but as that question didn't get a response, I don't know if this is acceptable behavior or not.

Given a working copy with a deleted directory (as well as a number of
other changes), I need to drop the missing files and directories prior
to
adding the unknown ones. (For a complete script to recreate this issue,
see the archived message referenced above.) In the following message,
the bar directory
was deleted in the working copy using a filesystem delete but "monotone
drop" hadn't yet been run. Here is the message.


>monotone list unknown

monotone: misuse: file disappeared but exists in new manifest: src/foo/bar/bang.c


Is this generally understood and correct behavior?


Thanks again for everyone's help.
