Launchpad itself

Three import failures in a row

Asked by Charlie Poole

The import of nunit-2.5 from sourceforge has failed the last three times. There was no activity on the CVS head after 4-28, but I just merged a branch into the head and it immediately began to fail. Can somebody check this please?

Unfortunately you've run into bug 120977 "cscvs breaks when a cvs merge creates a file" :(

Thanks... that clarifies what the problem is. Is there any workaround other than deleting the branch entirely? I hate to have a stale branch hanging around for people to make changes from.

This is no work around. The bug is pretty hard to fix, which is why it has been open for so long. After asking several developers and reading the history of the problem, I have no suggestions about how to get your code imported.

Well, it's solved inasmuch as it's answered. :-) Guess I'll remove the branch.

Thanks for checking it out.
