[darcs-users] darcsum record still hangs for me

[Andreas Abel]

Hi darcs users and developers,

in June I pointed out a problem with darcsum report 'R'

   http://hub.darcs.net/simon/darcsum/issue/1

It seems no one is reading bug reports there, so I am posting on this 
list.  This is the issue:

   Darcsum hangs on record and no possibility to investigate why
   andreas.abel

   I regularly have a record hanging, and since darcsum does not use an 
emacs buffer to communicate to  darcs, I have no chance of fixing the 
problem. How can I observe the communication and see why darcs is 
hanging (probably waiting from some question to be answered that darcsum 
is unprepared for)?

Commands like 'g' (update changes) and 'U' (revert) work fine, but the 
important 'R' (record) just hangs.  darcsum has been really great for 
cherry-picking records, so I'd like to use it again.

However, I cannot debug the problem since darcsum does not show the 
process communicating between darcsum and darcs.  It would be really 
nice if that could be fixed and I could use darcsum effectively again.  
Personally, I have no clue about emacs-lisp so I need help here.

Sure enough, I am also open to other ways to fix this problem.

Cheers,
Andreas
