I don't see where you tried to run "clone". > So, I tried pull ... but monotone doesn't know what I'm talking about. The error message is almost clear; you did not tell mtn what database to pull _to_; you only told it what database to pull _from_. _if_ mtn is run in a workspace, it uses the defaults specified in _MTN/options. But your 'pull' command is not in a workspace; it is in ~/mtn/ooncd, the workspace is in ~/mtn/ooncd/th So you need: mtn -d ~/mtn/ooncd/ooncd pull mtn://127.0.0.1:8990/ooncd or: cd th mtn pull mtn://127.0.0.1:8990/ooncd > Why does 'k' take just one dash, no space, and the keyname in some > commands and the 'normal' two dashes, '=', and the keyname in quotes > in others? You can always use either; '-k<name>' is short for '--key=<name>'. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
