Bug ID: 6491 Summary: Repository in a state where files are erroneously identified as missing Product: Mercurial Version: 5.6.1 Hardware: PC OS: Other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: bug Priority: wish Component: Mercurial Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org Reporter: mercur...@mbox.tinloaf.de CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org Python Version: --- I managed to get a mercurial repository into a state where a bunch of files (which exist on disk) are detected as missing, and there seems to be no way of "bringing them back" (at least as far as mercurial is considered). I suspect that this could be caused by accessing the same repository (as in: the very same folder on the disk) both from Windows and Linux (inside a WSL 1 container). My Windows mercurial version is 5.6.1, the Linux mercurial version is 5.3.1. The repository is in this weird state (from the Windows side of things): PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg status PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg status -d | Measure-Object -line Lines Words Characters Property ----- ----- ---------- -------- 101 So, `status` just says nothing, but `status -d` finds 101 missing files. Weirdly, the Linux client does not see any missing files: lba@One:~/dev/DEFAULT/efa$ hg status -d | wc -l 0 Okay, just restore by `update -C` (on the Windows side): PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg update -C 101 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved updated to "9a390e7aae73: fixed" 1 other heads for branch "default" However, the files are still missing: PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg status -d | Measure-Object -line Lines Words Characters Property ----- ----- ---------- -------- 101 In fact, I can run `hg update -C` multiple times successively, and it always claims to update those 101 files: PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg up -C 101 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved updated to "9a390e7aae73: fixed" 1 other heads for branch "default" PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg up -C 101 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved updated to "9a390e7aae73: fixed" 1 other heads for branch "default" To make things ever weirder, the files are actually there: PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> hg status -d | select -first 1 ! build\docker\Dockerfile PS D:\development\DEFAULT\efa> ls .\build\docker\Dockerfile Directory: D:\development\DEFAULT\efa\build\docker Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a---- 2/23/2021 12:29 PM 641 Dockerfile I've tried the following three suggestions (by marmoute and nbjoerg in the IRC channel), without luck: * hg up -r null ; hg up * hg debugrebuilddirstate ; hg up -C * rm .\hg\wcache\* ; hg up -C All of them result in the same situation as outlined above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
