Using latest stable 1.1.0pre1.

Whenever I "darcs put" my repository, the copy contains unrecorded changes.
At one point the original repository, I renamed a file from "plugin.cpp" to
"detection.cpp".

The unrecorded changes in the copy contain a copy of plugin.cpp to
detection.cpp, and a deletion of plugin.cpp

While it's trivial to do "darcs revert", this shouldn't happen at all.

Here is the repository where the problem occurs: http://ori.avtalion.name/repos/kom/

Unfortunately, I was unable to create an isolated test-case. To reproduce, just
"darcs get" and "darcs put" it somewhere else.

Taking for triage.

Salty-horse:

Good news: This bug has already been resolved in the unstable branch of darcs. I
did a "darcs get" and then a "put" of the repo you provided, and the result
included no unrecorded changes.

I just compiled unstable 2.0.0pre3, and tried to "get" and then "put".
Unfortunately, still seeing the same unrecorded changes :(

Did you manage to reproduce it with the stable version? Maybe it's a problem
specific to my machine configuration and ghc+library versions (Ubuntu gutsy).

salty-horse:

darcs put makes use of the darcs that is in your path, so this may actually be
fixed in darcs-unstable.  Is darcs-2 the "darcs" that is found in your path? If
not, could you try again with darcs-2 named "darcs" and in your path?

Thanks!

You're right, droundy. It works now!

If the "fix" is simple, should it be backported to the stable 1.* branch?

Great! (and thanks for testing)

Possibly.  I suspect, however, that the fix isn't simple.  The relevant
code is completely rewritten in darcs2, so probably fixing this bug in the
stable branch would require tracking it down afresh.
