I was pushing some patches to a local repo when I realized I didn't want to push them and hit C-c. This left a repository with all the patches listed, but with unrecorded changes, and such that "darcs check" and "darcs repair" reported nothing wrong. I finally just mv'ed the corrupted repository aside, and did "darcs get" on it to produce a new, correct repository. Unfortunately this incident is yet another reason why my company will probably compel me to stop using darcs for our important source code soon... Regards, Zooko

Zooko, The new hashed and darcs-2 formats are reportedly more atomic and I'm curious if you've been able test this kind of case with them. It's a case that seems difficult to create an automated test for. Mark

Okay, I'll poke at this one some time.

Based on some of my own testing, I have failed to be able to interrupt a push such that there's a problem, using Darcs2. Please re-open if you still experience this problem with Darcs-2.
