OpenVMS port of Mercurial

[Jean-François Piéronne]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the port of Mercurial on OpenVMS.

Initial tests seem to indicate that most of the commands work with
minimal patches (less than 10 lines).

I was able to create a repository, insert and update files using the
commands 'init', 'add', 'commit', 'log', 'diff', 'export'
I was also able to serve the repository and clone it on a Windows system.

Currently the only identified broken command is 'clone'

For example:

The command
hg -v --debug clone http://selenic.com/repo/hg/ hg
give:
sending heads command
requesting all changes
sending changegroup command
adding changesets
add changeset 9117c6561b0b
add changeset 273ce12ad8f1
add changeset ecf3fd948051
add changeset 3a6392190075
add changeset ce3bd728b858
add changeset 5f249577ac40
abort: integrity check failed on 00changelog.d:4!
transaction abort!
rollback completed


The same error is raised using any repository.

As Mercurial is a fairly large system, it's not easy to track down the
problem.
So, any ideas are welcome... (where to add trace for example).

Thanks,

JF
