Hi all,
I have a repository that was (once upon a time) a former git repository. I just
noticed, upon cloning to a new computer, that the root checkin is no longer
showing up in the timeline. I'll be a bit more specific, judging from the
artifacts I've found upon deconstruction etc. There are two computers, call
them server and client.
On the server, I see a checkin 31e481e120f0, whose manifest lists the 'P' card
(parent, I assume) as '7116833a14'. This checkin does not show up in the
timeline on the server. When I deconstruct the fossil repository, I can see the
manifest for that checkin, and the checkin comment states "Initial commit" or
some such with no other P card.
On the client (after clone), I DON'T SEE 31e481e12, only its next available
child. All the data is still obviously there after deconstruction, although it
still doesn't appear after reconstructing from the artifacts.
I've tried rebuild (using --randomize and not) with no luck. I'm guessing that
I've simply run into a very odd git-influenced bug of one sort or another, but
would love to figure out what went wrong.
As a note, I know that at some point I could see the original ('7116833...')
checking because the client (though oddly not the server) lists a tag change in
which I added a propagating tag 'trunk' to that checkin. So at some point in
the past I could see it through the timeline and edit it. Maybe something in
the intervening rebuilds broke things?
Is there anything else I can do to debug the issue?
Thanks,
Tomek
PS. Please CC me on responses since I get digests, so I will be delayed in
responding otherwise.
