[darcs-users] [issue2251] darcs diff filename fails with strange error message

[Ben Franksen]

My last mail to the list didn't get through. It contained the output of 
darcs --exact-version. I suspect that something in the long output of this 
command triggers some filter somewhere, therefore I re-send without it.

1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?)

> darcs diff test/validate/testSupport.h

darcs failed:  replace patch to ./src/snc/gen_ss_code.c couldn't apply.

Note the file it complains about is not teh one I gave on the command line.
(It's in the same repo, though).


2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

This one:

> darcs-2.8.0 diff test/validate/testSupport.h

Yes, this means it worked in darcs-2.8.0.


3. What darcs version are you using? (Try: darcs --exact-version)

Better not ;-) I am using the latest and greatest from the screned repo.

4. What operating system are you running?

Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit)

Cheers
