[issue3392] mpatch.mpatchError: patch cannot be decoded

[Dmitry]

New submission from Dmitry <dmitry.neverov at gmail.com>:

Hi!

from time to time I get an error while updating repository with
subrepos, I run the command:

hg update --config auth.tc.prefix=* --config auth.tc.username=<username> --
config auth.tc.password=<password> --config "auth.tc.schemes=http https" -C 
-r <revision>

the error is:

pulling subrepo <subrepo.name> from <subrepo.url>
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes

stderr: transaction abort!
rollback completed

mpatch.mpatchError: patch cannot be decoded

I saw number of similiar bug reports, most of them suggest to run
'hg verify', which doesn't detects any errors in cloned
repository and since sometimes update is successful I think
repository on the server is also OK. How can I debug it futher?
