Replies shall appear below the quoted text -- that is the policy on this mailing list. You are not actually running the code that I suggested you try. If you have two heads, then only one of them is active. Do: hg merge make commit (enter some bogus commit message, like "merge from master" or something, then save the file and exit) do hg heads again and see your single commit, then rebuild your tree and try again. Just to clarify: I only *suspect* that my recent changes may help to avoid the issue that you see -- those changes address an unrelated issue, but this fix is a possible side-effect. Good Luck. -Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
