Hi

If one tries to convert a repository that is already on darcs-2  
forma,t darcs blindly attempts to convert it and ends up with an  
inconsistent repository (I can see that there are missing files, at  
least).

I believe that in this case darcs should either:

1) report "already a darcs-2 repository" and quit, or
2) simply perform a get instead of a convert

I've experienced this with both versions 2.0.2 and 2.1.0

Thanks
Daniel

Thank you very much for this report. I hope that you have not lost any data as a 
result of this problem.

I have sent a patch with a suitable test case that demonstrates the problem in a 
simple case. I have not tried to see what happens when converting a large darcs2 
repository, but it seems to me that this behavior could lead to some unpleasant 
surprises. So, are there anyone who would volunteer to take a look at this?

Thanks to all and best regards
Thorkil

Hi Thorkil,  It looks like I lost your test patch, sorry! :-(
May I request that you resend?  Our test stuff has evolved a bit in the past
year so if you could maybe just make a new patch, that'd be great.  Latest
instructions here: http://wiki.darcs.net/RegressionTests

Hello,

I have shipped a patch with the (presently failing) test case.

Best regards
Thorkil

Thanks Thorkil.  This looks like a fairly easy one to fix.  If we don't get it
by the next release, we should at least get to it by the one after that.
