[darcs-users] nul file in darcs repo

[Uwe Schmidt]

Hi all,

we have a problem checking out a darcs repository under windows.
Our repository contains a (rather useless) file called nul .
This file was added to the initial version of the repo,
so the addfile command is in patch 1.
We've tried to check out this repo with "darcs get" under
windows xp and cygwin. There darcs stops checking out
when trying to create the file called nul . The reason is,
that under windows nul is not a legal file name.

How can we remove that entry from our repo
or manipulate the repo, without
throwing away the whole history in a way, that we
can check out under windows?

Any Ideas?

Cheers,

Uwe
