Problems after hg strip

[pinard]

Hello there! :-)

I'm merely exploring Mercurial to access GitHub, also intending to later convert most of my local Git repositories. On a toy GitHub repository, I have four commits numbered 0 to 3, with a Mercurial local clone through hg-git. After "hg strip 1", all commits are locally gone except for the initial one. Trying "hg push" and "hg push -f" both yield:

pushing to git+ssh://git@github.com/pinard/try-github.git creating and sending data ["git-receive-pack '/pinard/try-github.git'"] abandon : unknown revision '932dcd079d4e8c00bdd9e9e5ddcfdf25773ac139' !

Then, wanting to see if "pull" will recover the stripped commits, I tried "hg pull", and got the following traceback:

P.S. Who also want to thank whoever is behind these Git-Mercurial communication facilities. It worked rather nicely, so far in my few tries!

a hg gclear should do the trick

[pinard]

Well, even if "hg gclear" would do the trick (I did not try, as I stopped using Mercurial for most of my works), "hg pull" should give some clear diagnostic or suggestion. A traceback is never the proper way for a tool to help the end user. You may consider the issue closed, but you'll agree that the problem has not been addressed nor repaired.
