I have a TortoiseHG installation that's been running cleanly for a few
months. However, in the past week, one of my users has managed to get into
two situations that have resulted in repository corruption and I can't
figure out why.
Today's problem arose when the user was pushing changes from our staging
repo to our production repo. The production repo is setup with changegroup
hooks to (a) automatically update the production files and (b) send a
notification e-mail (using the "notify" extension).
The push generated the following error:
pushing to y:\production\
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 2 changesets with 0 changes to 0 files
warning: changegroup hook exited with status -1
[command completed successfully Tue Sep 28 16:02:29 2010]
error: changegroup.notify hook raised an exception:
data/web/shared/pubs/workshops/index.cf...@919619b0c5ef: no match found
The "0 changes to 0 files" part is curious. I'd also love more info on the
"changegroup hook exited with status -1" part. Is there a way to get THG to
provide more verbose information, perferably to a file so I don't have to
count on my users diligently sending me error info.
After this error, I ran "verify" on the staging and production repos and got
the following results:
Staging repo:
repository uses revlog format 1
checking changesets
checking manifests
crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
checking files
web/shared/pubs/workshops/index....@?: rev 1 points to unexpected changeset
116
(expected 117)
1 warnings encountered!
1 integrity errors encountered!
8515 files, 119 changesets, 8669 total revisions
Production repo:

checking files
web/shared/pubs/workshops/index....@117: 919619b0c5ef in manifests not

(first damaged changeset appears to be 117)
8515 files, 119 changesets, 8668 total revisions
[command returned code 1 Tue Sep 28 17:30:15 2010]
I know how to fix these repos (by cloning them to the changeset before the
bad one and re-adding/updating the files in the bad changeset) but its a bit
of a hassle. My bigger question is what's causing this corruption and how
do I prevent it? I'm really happy with Mercurial and THG so far but am
concerned they may be a bit too fragile for my users.
Thanks!
