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.
