Fossil SCM

Just ran fossil pull and then tried to run fossil up with fossil version [71ad9b62a7] 2009-12-31 14:59:03 UTC on the fossil repository and received this error "fossil: bad object id: 0 on up". I ran fossil rebuild and still get the same error.

Does this message still occur? It appeared for me on the fossil repo (none of my own) until I made the last commit. It no longer appears.

Oh, I should say, my last commit had nothing to do with this error message, I just noticed that it no longer appears for me making me think the commit caused some type of database cleanup fixing the problem.

I'm still getting it on my already cloned repo. If I do a fresh clone, fossil up works.

I'm also getting it all of a sudden

anonymous added on 2010-01-11 06:44:45:
OK: I just did a "fossil close" and then "fossil open", and that bug is gone; so I assume there is something wrong in the FOSSIL database.

anonymous added on 2010-10-23 23:07:21: any update on this? it just occured to me with

This is fossil version [b48f78964e] 2010-09-18 15:51:43 UTC

on the fossil repo.

drh added on 2010-10-24 22:55:25: No updates. An easy workaround is to do one of:

   fossil update --latest
   fossil update trunk
   fossil update version-number

Instead of just:

   fossil update

The problem is here that fossil is having trouble figuring out what version it needs to update to. If you give it a hint, it will normally keep going without trouble.

It would help to have a reproducible test case.

anonymous added on 2010-10-25 20:09:02: Could this be a result of fossil deciding that an artifact already exists locally because it is in a cluster? If you hit this case, please do a second clone and see if it still shows the problem. If it doesn't, compare the output of

sqlite3 $repo 'select uuid from blob order by uuid'

for both repo files.

anonymous claiming to be viric added on 2010-11-24 22:18:21: An easy reproducible test case is doing "fossil update" while being in a closed branch.

drh added on 2010-11-25 01:52:57: Fixed for the case of a "fossil update" on a closed branch. If other cases are found, please reopen the ticket with an explanation of the next case.
