Sparkleshare crashed on startup, every time. The error in the crash report ended with this
after the backtrace:
sparkleshare System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.Parameter name: uriString
What I expected to happen:
sparkleshare to start (or log a reason why it couldn't run)
This happens when:
User made a copy of ~/SparkleShare/git.server.fqdn/reponame
The copy was at ~SparkleShare/bkup/reponame
My guess is that sparkleshare was treating 'bkup' as a "server ident", looking it up and failing to generate a URI for it (so far so good) and then exploding in a shower of sparks instead of logging the error (and/or notifying the user) and moving on. The backtrace was pretty unhelpful (to me) but fortunately strace showed me what was going on.
