Pushing to "youkan:/srv/dev/darcs/megawave-4"...
darcs: bug in darcs!
fromJust error at Push.lhs:136 compiled 13:47:48 Nov 20 2006
Please report this to bugs@darcs.net,
If possible include the output of 'darcs --exact-version'.

= Version =

$ darcs --exact-version
darcs compiled on Nov 20 2006, at 13:48:04
# configured Mon Oct  9 15:12:44 EDT 2006
./configure --no-create --no-recursion

Context:

[TAG 1.0.9rc1
Tommy Pettersson <ptp@lysator.liu.se>**20061008175207]

= What I wanted to do =

* set an empty distant repo
* set an empty local repo
* fill it with the current source
* push it to the server repo
* set an empty distant branch repo
* set a local branch repo from the previous local repo
* push it to the server branch repo

= What I did (IIRC) =

on the distant server:
mkdir megawave-3
cd megawave-3
darcs initialize
cd ..
mkdir megawave-4
cd megawave-4
darcs initialize

locally:
darcs get youkan:/srv/dev/darcs/megawave-3
cd megawave-3
(add the source)
darcs add --recursive ./
darcs record -a
darcs tag --checkpoint
darcs push
cd ..
darcs get --partial megawave-3 megawave-4
(update _darcs/prefs/repos and _darcs/prefs/defaultrepo)
darcs push
(here comes the error)

= My understanding =

I guess the culprit is the --partial option, but from the doc it made
sense for me. So it might a minima be a documentation bug :)

= Context =

First time I start to *really* use darcs, for more than a personal
backup service.

This is resolved in the Darcs unstable branch by using "--lazy" instead of
"--partial", which has space and performance benefits of --partial, but without
the bugs.
