[Monotone-devel] Unclear error when database is locked

[Wim Oudshoorn]

A commit from emacs was hanging and a subsequent commit gave the following 
error:

monotone: beginning commit on branch 'nl.xs4all.ironhead.graphs'
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'informative_failure'
monotone: fatal: signal: SIGABRT (application abort requested)
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: wrote debugging log to /Users/woudshoo/src/graph/MT/debug


The last part of the MT/debug directory is:

binding 1 with value '2830c93667a1a7b52af3e4195c394ed6da5e89c7'
prepared statement DELETE FROM manifests WHERE id = ?
binding 1 parameters for DELETE FROM manifests WHERE id = ?

sqlite error: 5: database is locked

sqlite error: 1: cannot rollback transaction - SQL statements in progress
../database.cc:184: detected error 'E(errcode == SQLITE_OK)' violated

monotone version: 0.23

It seems it can detect that the DB is locked but the error
message the user sees is not very clear.
