Push Python Error on new setup

[Tony Zakula]

I think I have this almost solved.  There never was any errors in the
web server log.  That was the weird part.  However, I did create a new
hg project on another machine and attempt to do a pull from the one
file project on the source server.  I received an error from hg saying
the projects were unrelated.  Being new to hg, I did not realize this
was an issue.  So I did a force pull, changed a file, and then I was
able to push back to the repository via the cgi interface.

My next step was to do a force pull of just the one file on the source
server to get the projects related.  I then attempted to do a push via
the web interface, and the project has several thousand files, and it
failed.  So I did a push via ssh to the source server to get the
production files into source control and that worked fine.

Now when I issue the command hg incoming on the production server (via
the cgi interface), it shows the update that I pushed via ssh.  So I
am assuming, I should just pull that update, even though all the files
would be exactly the same.  After I pull via the cgi, I am hoping I
will be able to push via the cgi.  The pushes should only contain a
few files at a time.  I have to wait until tomorrow to give it a try.

So, it seems, that it was something inside the hg that was bombing,
unless it was the file size or something.

In retrospect, I probably should have manually copied all the files
from my production server, to the source server, created the project,
and then did a clone on the production server, which basically would
have just copied all the files back to the production server.

If any of my assumptions are incorrect above, or there are thoughts,
please let me know as I am still getting up to speed on this.

Thanks,
