            Bug ID: 5971
           Summary: bogus "repository changed while pushing" error
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.7.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: teo8976 at gmail.com

I am trying to push a repository where the latest commits contain lots of
changes (thousands of added files), so it is expected that it takes long.

At the first attempt I got a "gateway timeout" error, probably the server's
fault.

At the second attempt, however, and after several minutes uploading data, I got
a bullshit error: "repository changed while pushing. Please try again".

Nothing changed in the repository. If something really changed by just stadning
idle in front of the computer, and doesn't show up doing "hg status", then it's
something irrelevant that shouldn't cause this error.

When performing such operations that take long is precisely when one needs the
software to be more resilient. That stuff fails in the middle of uploading
several megabytes after several minutes, is particularly annoying because it
makes you waste a lot of time.
