[Savannah-help-public] Arch repository of Emacs wedged?

[Stefan Monnier]

I get an odd error when trying to update my Arch tree of Emacs from
savannah:

   % tla star-merge --three-way address@hidden/emacs--devo--0
   * auto-adding address@hidden/emacs--devo--0--patch-670 to greedy revision 
library /part/01/Tmp/monnier/archlib


   ********************************

   NO CHECKSUMS FOUND FOR REVISION!
    IN ARCHIVE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO
    BE SIGNED!

     archive: address@hidden
     revision emacs--devo--0--patch-670

   ********************************


   trouble reading checksum file for address@hidden/emacs--devo--0--patch-670
   %

Digging deeper makes it look even more strange:

   % sftp address@hidden
   Connecting to arch.sv.gnu.org...
   sftp> cd /archives/emacs/emacs/emacs--devo/emacs--devo--0/patch-670

The error results in a local file `checksum' of size 0.

I get the same error when trying to download the `log' file, but OTOH I can
download the emacs--devo--0--patch-670.patches.tar.gz without any problem.
