(please keep me CC'd, I am currently not subscribed to the git ML) It appears stgit dislikes something on the v2.6.27 longterm tree, or something else is hosed on my system. It is causing me a lot of trouble, I now have a few backport branches that are unusable, and that I'd like very much to fix... Tested with stgit 0.15, and also stgit "proposed" branch. Debian squeeze, both in ia32 and x86-64. Here is a testcase to reproduce the problem: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/longterm/linux-2.6.27.y.git $ cd linux-2.6.27.y $ git reset --hard v2.6.27.53 $ stg init $ stg new test-patch-1 $ echo "something" > changedfile $ git add changedfile $ stg refresh $ stg rebase v2.6.27.58 Checking for changes in the working directory ... done Popping all applied patches ... done Rebasing to "v2.6.27.58" ... done Pushing patch "test-patch-1" ... done Now at patch "test-patch-1" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/stg", line 44, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/main.py", line 175, in main _main() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/main.py", line 170, in _main directory.write_log(cmd) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/commands/common.py", line 537, in write_log log.compat_log_entry(msg) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 372, in compat_log_entry log_entry(stack, msg) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 328, in log_entry new_log.write_commit() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 283, in write_commit tree = self.__tree(metadata) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 277, in __tree patches = dict((pn, pf(c)) for pn, c in self.patches.iteritems()) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 277, in <genexpr> patches = dict((pn, pf(c)) for pn, c in self.patches.iteritems()) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 275, in pf r = patch_file(self.__repo, c.data) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/log.py", line 116, in patch_file 'Bottom: %s' % cd.parent.data.tree.sha1, File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/git.py", line 426, in data self.__repository.cat_object(self.sha1)) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/stgit/lib/git.py", line 408, in parse assert False AssertionError I have other failure modes that also result on assertions, but they all look like the same basic problem, and this one is at least easy to reproduce. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
