Re: [Monotone-devel] weird monotone behavior

[Hugo Cornelis]

Thanks for the fast answer, I should have spotted this myself.

As you say it would be good if monotone handles this error condition
in a more graceful way, it still makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Likely that manual editing is the root cause of the problem.

Thanks for the answer.
