Hi all,
I've got an hg puzzle, can anyone on the Galaxy team explain the cause of this and what action I can take to avoid it?
Starting with a clean checkout,
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central warning: bitbucket.org certificate with fingerprint 24:9c:45:8b:9c:aa:ba:55:4e:01:6d:58:ff:e4:28:7d:2a:14:ae:3b not verified (check hostfingerprints or web.cacerts config setting) destination directory: galaxy-central requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 8886 changesets with 33822 changes to 6914 files (+1 heads) updating to branch default 4019 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd galaxy-central
$ hg branch default
$ hg branches default 8885:9852dd712f5c stable 8880:8da37d3985ab
$ hg checkout stable abort: path 'static/june_2007_style/Makefile' traverses symbolic link 'static/june_2007_style'
I was actually trying to checkout one of my own branches, having setup the .hg/hgrc to include a link to my own fork on bitbucket.
Hi Peter, This is due to the annoying way in which Mercurial handles symlinks. We're going to graft the changesets that caused this up to stable shortly, but in the meantime, you can do: % rm static/june_2007_style % hg update stable --clean This would remove any uncommitted local changes, if you had any, so it's not safe for all scenarios. But it's fine here since you're working on a fresh clone with no changes. --nate
Thanks!
