[Monotone-devel] Automate weirdness...

[William Uther]

Hi all,

  I've just been playing with automate.  In particular, consider  
this session:

% mtn au stdio
l20:get_base_revision_ide
0:0:l:41:aa05aa9171bac92766b769bbb703287f53e08693
l5:certs41:aa05aa9171bac92766b769bbb703287f53e08693
e
1:2:l:85:misuse: hex encoded ID  
'aa05aa9171bac92766b769bbb703287f53e08693

First I call "get_base_revision_id" to get the base revision.   
automate returns the revision to me with an extra linefeed (note that  
the 2nd line has a 41 rather than a 40 as the length of the returned  
id).  I then pass that straight into "certs", with the extra  
character, and get an error for giving automate an extra character.

This seems broken, but will require changes to the automate version  
to fix.  What's the normal procedure for something like this?

Be well,

Will        :-}
