I could not reproduce this, but I swear it happened to me in one of my repos with HEAD after 2.5 and prior to Darcs 2.8 Basic pattern is rm -rf someDirectory darcs record someDirectory [complaint that the directory does not exist] We're waiting on somebody who can make this sort of thing happen again Attachments failing-rm-record.sh

Giving up until we have a way of reproducing it :-(

BTW, I'm pretty sure the message you get is the same as when you record a non-existing file: WARNING: File 'x' does not exist! Recording changes in "x": darcs failed: None of the files you specified exist!

Here's a repository encrypted with my, Petr, Ganesh and Ian's key. I'll upload a public one if it turns out it's really OK for me do so. Attachments acl-11-subset.tar.bz2.gpg

And here's the recipe to make it do the bad-looking thing. Attachments recipe.sh
