The last step in the following script fails with darcs HEAD and not darcs 2.4.3 under Linux. It seems darcs HEAD wants that all file paths are given as starting from the root of the working copy. #!/bin/sh set -v mkdir -p tmp/subdir cd tmp touch a touch subdir/b darcs init darcs add a subdir subdir/b darcs rec -am"first add" cd subdir rm b darcs rec b -am"delete b" # darcs failed: None of the files you specified exist! # ~/bin/darcs-2.4.3* rec b -am"delete b" # Recording changes in "subdir/b": # # Finished recording patch 'delete b'

See http://wiki.darcs.net/Development/RegressionTests for the next step (filing a formal regression test; it's super easy now that you've done all the hard stuff). -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9

I should add that this does not happen for modified files. I can only reproduce it with deleted files. (ie in the example, when b is modified, darcs is not failing).

Looks like this should be of interest to Petr. Assigning for diagnosis.

Perhaps another variant of this -- worth simplifying the test? -- is adding a file and doing darcs record "."

Just noting that my previous msg11071 seems to be a dupe of issue1871 and from the looks of it, not the same bug

Also, the behaviour seems to have been mis-identified. Can you confirm, Guillaume? If you think if you have a case where it's actually about the location of the file wrt the working copy and not just the about pending patch, please open a new ticket and reference this one
