[Monotone-devel] Bug report: monotone add command fails on Windows

[Roger House]

Bug report

I just downloaded monotone onto my Windows XP system and installed it and
began learning it.  I did the following:

1.  In c:\OpenSourceCode\monotone\learn I created a database learn.db.

2.  I used genkey to create a key pair.

3.  I created a new project with this command:
   monotone --db=learn.db --branch=com.InfoCentricity.rhouse.learn 
setup workcopy

4.  I looked at the file options in workcopy\MT.  It contains
 branch "com.InfoCentricity.rhouse.learn"
database "C:/OPENSO~1/Monotone/LEARN/learn.db"

5.  I created two files with a text editor, myfile1.txt and myfile2.txt,
   each containing a few lines of text.

6.  When I tried 'monotone add myfile?.txt' I got this fatal error message:
monotone: fatal: std::logic_error: paths.cc:209: invariant 
'I(is_valid_internal(data()))' violated
monotone:
monotone:
monotone: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.
monotone: please send this error message, the output of 'monotone 
--full-version ',
monotone: and a description of what you were doing to 
address@hidden

monotone: discarding debug log (maybe you want --debug or --dump?)

7.  Here is the output from monotone --full-version

monotone 0.23 (base revision: e32d161b8d5cde9f0968998cc332f82f82c27006)
Running on: Windows NT/2000/XP (5.1, build 2600) on ia32 (level 15, rev 521)

8.  I tried other variations of monotone add, namely
   monotone add myfile*
   monotone add myfile1.txt myfile2.txt
   monotone add myfile1.txt
All of them failed with the same fatal error.

9.  I tried moving the text files to another directory and then adding, but
the same error resulting.

10.  I tried again with the --debug option and got some more information:

At the moment it seems that I can't do much with monotone on Windows.  I 
eagerly await some
resolution of this problem so I can get going.  From the documentation, 
it looks like monotone
is just the version control system that I am looking for.
