But if you still have an old repo around, you can use that to bootstrap past the current problems with bkbits[1]; I just upgraded an ancient xeno-unstable.bk tree to xen-2.0.bk by the following: % bk clone -ql xeno-unstable.bk xen-2.0.bk % cd xen-2.0.bk % bk parent bk://xen.bkbits.net/xen-2.0.bk % bk pull ... takepatch: 5242 new revisions, 0 conflicts in 698 files ... % bk changes -L % That's a pretty sizable pull right there, and it worked perfectly. > Also, why would it work with xeno-1.2.bk but not with the 2.0 > trees? There's some issue on bkbits that's resulting in these problems. Might be something like a full filesystem, or a wierd wedged process holding a lock. But the whole point of BK's distributed system is that there doesn't have to be a single-point-of-failure; you can get your changesets from elsewhere and it doesn't matter to BK. And that "elsewhere" can certainly be a local repo at a previous version. [1] As far as I can tell, it's only a problem with clones, not with pulls. Maybe it's just Larry's way of telling you "bootstrap from your local clones, people!" :) BK is *really* good at saving bandwidth and time this way. It boggles my mind to see people cloning from bkbits all the time. I don't think I've done a remote clone of any of the trees I follow in *months*. Instead, I do a local clone, 'bk repogca', 'bk undo', followed by pull. -andy ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
