[Monotone-devel] Connection timeout error message misleading

[Dean Kusler]

I tried to do a pull from Olivier's server to get monotone-viz, and it was 
down (as he warns it may be on his web page - no problem, I'll just try 
again later). The message I got was this:


monotone: warning: doing anonymous pull
monotone: rebuilding merkle trees for collection ocaml.monotone-viz
monotone: connecting to karryall.dnsalias.org
monotone: discarding debug log
monotone: fatal: std::runtime_error: trapped network exception: failed to 
connect: Connection timed out

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


Now, I think that "Connection timed out" really isn't "almost certainly a 
bug in monotone". Should we detect certain errors like that and not 
display the "almost certainly a bug" message for them?
