Commit targets from a file -- Non-Atomic?
I haven't had a chance to fully investigate this but two of my users have
had commits fail (out-of-date error) with the result being an apparent
partial commit. I have a wrapper script that allows the user to delete
unwanted files directly from the log message. When the editor exists I
parse the log file and put all the filepaths in a tmp file which I then call
using the --targets option.
I have already confirmed that the commit failed with an out-of-date and that
the files up to the failure were no longer listed in the status of the
working copy. One thought I had was that some of the meta-data in the
working copy got updated a little early so it is no longer showing up in
status or subsequent checkin attempts. I haven't actually confirmed that
the changes made it into the repository.
Basically, does anyone have any pointers as to what I should look for
tomorrow when I investigate this?
Thanks,
Troy
