Hi Darcs, Not sure what this is about, but I received the following
error when using Darcs.

Yikes, pending has conflicts
Darcs: bug in darcs!
There was an attempt to write an invalid pending!
If possible, please send the contents of _darcs/patches/pending_buggy
along with a bug report.

I've attached "pending_buggy"

Regards --Roland

Thanks for this.  What version of darcs and what operating system (and
filesytem), please?

Hi Eric, I'm running Windows XP. The filesystem is ClearCase. What I'm
trying to do migrate off of ClearCase to darcs. I created a darcs
repository within a ClearCase filesystem.

I went through the sequence again and the problem did not occur the
second time.

I'm thinking that since the problem wasn't reproducible, for now we can close
this.  I suspect that the trouble may relate to the filesystem, which almost
certainly doesn't offer posix semantics (which are safest), and possibly doesn't
offer windows semantics either.  But I don't know how to tell, particularly not
knowing which version of darcs you saw this problem with.
