Hello,

I am running a git_export command with monotone 0.45 on Windows XP in a cygwin shell, however it fails with:

mtn:   loading
mtn: 2558/2558
fatal: Unsupported command: blob
fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_3744

I notice that there was a fix to a regression for the export in the development source, am I seeing what has been fixed or something completely different?

Whilst I note that the crash is with git I figure that monotone is sending something it does not like.

It sounds like git doesn't like the blob command, but that doesn't make a lot of sense, since that's how you send data to it.

What version of git are you running?

$ git --version
git version 1.6.5.1.1367.gcd48

Does the git crash log contain anything helpful?

Not that I can tell, attached.

I assume you must be running through a pipe and it doesn't look like your database is all that big, so can you export to a file and import from that?

To be honest I am not sure how I would go about that?  I have just tried:

$ mtn git_export --db ../lynx.mtn --refs=revs --authors-file=authors_map.txt --use-one-changelog > text.txt

When I do:
less text.txt

The line ending are ^M oddly.

Is there any chance that the pipe or something else is turning blob\n" into "blob\r\n" and the unsupported command is "blob\r" ?

Could well be.  I guess I might be the first person to try this on Windows.

Once you have exported to a file can you import the first half of the file, the first quarter, or the first few revs?

I am not sure how to pipe the file into git.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate your reply.
