Subject: Strange BK behaviour?


Hi,

I just tagged v2.4.22-pre5 after pulling jgarzik's 2.4 net-drivers tree.

I cant seem to able able to push that tag to bkbits.net, though.

bkpush returns me:

Nothing to send to bk://[email protected]/linux-2.4

Locally, I have:

[email protected], 2003-07-11 16:11:39-03:00,
[email protected]
Merge bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/net-drivers-2.4
into freak.distro.conectiva:/home/marcelo/bk/linux-2.4
TAG: v2.4.22-pre5


Now going to the web interface shows the net-drivers-2.4 merge, but not
the TAG on it.

Whats going on?

Ahh, it's there, bkbits just isn't showing it because it is an empty merge
changeset. That's a bug. If you care, file a bug on bk/web with a
summary like "show merge changesets if they are tagged".

Right, the data is there. There is a lot of "merge noise" in BK where BK
is just recording the fact that changes in unrelated files have been
brought together. In general, you don't want to see all that noise, it's
more or less internal BK metadata. So BK/Web filters it out, as does
bk changes. But in this case, because the cset in question is "named"
with a tag it should have been shown.

It's a presentation issue, not a data problem, which is why CVS/SVN saw
it - the exporter works on the raw data.

It definitely got down to CVS/SVN.
