clone 884646 -1 retitle -1 obtuse info in diff for permissions change: # # dgit push printed this # dgit: HEAD specifies a different tree to rssh_2.3.4-6.dsc: # dgit: conf_convert | 0 # dgit: 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) # which is a terribly obtuse way of reporting a permission # difference. clone 884646 -2 retitle -2 wrong message about diff in split brain mode # # * dgit push printed this # dgit: ... To see a full diff, run # dgit: git diff dc66d4bce760602ff12f5894baaf931caa2c01fa HEAD # but that is completely wrong and produces a bunch of irrelevant # stuff. # # I think the bug is that the message says HEAD but of course the # relevant diff is between the .dsc and the dgit view, not between the # .dsc and HEAD, in split brain mode. If I do this # git diff dc66d4bce760602ff12f5894baaf931caa2c01fa 4dcfadb60855855fa909fb1544c22af63084b4c0 # I get only the expected mention of the mode of conf_convert. # (that hash came from "dgit view: found cached (commit id...)") clone 884646 -3 retitle -3 dgit(7) should say something about permissions problems # # * dgit push printed this # see dgit(7) for some hints # but dgit(7) mentions nothing about this kind of problem. retitle 884646 wrong message about perhaps tree changed # # I discover from UTSL that dgit's quilt cache is keyed off not the tree # object corresponding to git HEAD, but the HEAD commit id. (This is # necessary because the dgit view is a branchlet built on HEAD.) # # But that does mean the message is misleading. It ought to say: # # dgit: perhaps HEAD changed since dgit build[-source] ? # # (And I think, here, that we do mean HEAD and not something else.) thanks
