cloning via webserver (server: windows 2003 64-bit server; client: same or linux)

[rollin]

Hi,
I'm running hg 1.7.3 and tortoisehg 1.1.8.  I've created two kinds of
repositories on the windows 2003 server: (1) with working directories and
(2) without working directories (i.e., like a central repository).  I've
modified the configuration file of the webserver for both repositories via
totortoise such that max files is 100000 and max changes is 100000.

When I start the websever (via tortoisehg) on the repository with working
directories, I can successfully clone via the hg command line from a linux
node and the same windows server (but to a different folder).  The command
is like:
  linux$ hg clone http:://xxx.yyy.com:8000/ battest

When I start the webserver on the repository without working directories, I
get an error attempting to clone (via same command as above) on either the
windows or linux systems -- "abort: consistency error in delta!".

If I add the options -v --traceback, I get the following output (from either
linux or windows):
D:\roy>hg clone http://usctap3488.merck.com:8000/ battest -v --traceback
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
transaction abort!
rollback completed

But, if I add --debug to the original command line, i.e.,
   D:\roy>hg clone http://usctap3488.merck.com:8000/ battest --debug
it works without error.

The repository has around 1500 files and is about 18MB.  My real interest is
to clone from the linux box but I was curious if the error was unique to
linux; hence, I included the testing on windows as well.  It doesn't appear
to be platform dependent.  Also, when I cloned a much smaller repository
without working directories, it worked without error.

cheers, roy
