The corruption can manifest itself in different forms. The most obvious one is when you get an error while pulling. The less obvious one is when some file looks weird when you look at it.
The specifics of the corruption is that it involves files that were renamed/moved/copied and marked as such in mercurial, and that metadata about the rename/move/copy was not preserved in git-cinnabar for some reason. In that case, subsequent updates to the file may be broken. Pushing modifications to those files might be broken too. If you see any kind of corruption, please keep a copy of your broken clone, open an issue against git-cinnabar, make sure you're up-to-date wrt git-cinnabar and reclone. I'm not able to address issues that aren't reported. Mike On Mon, Apr 08, 2019 at 01:25:40PM +0200, Yaron Tausky wrote: > Could you perhaps tell us more about the corruption?
