Hi, It seems there is something broken in fossil. I'm always getting this error when I try to make a 'fossil update':
$ fossil update Assertion failed: (pBlob)->xRealloc==blobReallocMalloc || (pBlob)->xRealloc==blobReallocStatic, file blob_.c, line 170 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information $ fossil version This is fossil version [2bb1d6469f] 2009-12-09 14:39:20 UTC I do have binary files (icons, gifs, jpg) in my project. I think some of these binary files were changed by me and somebody else. Now I cannot make an update to get the latest changes from the repository. Any hint's how I can handle this????
