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

[Ben Franksen]

Hello

after several unsuccessful attempts to add the missing details for the above 
issue I am sending them here in the hope that someon with the right web 
browswer and/or email credentials might enter them.

BTW, thanks Owen, I *did* send a second message to bugs at darcs.net. First it 
told me my message awaits moderator approval (I expected that), then I got a 
second reply, saying "An unexpected error occurred during the processing of 
your message. The tracker administrator is being notified."

Ok so here is the report (copied verbatim from my second message to bugs@):


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 the one I gave on the command line.
(It's in the same repo, though).


2. What behaviour were you expecting instead?

This one:

Yes, this means it worked in darcs-2.8.0.


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

 I accidentally introduced the inconsistency years ago when switching to
 extensible exceptions. Catching just IO exceptions was the original
 intent.
