"bzr pull" crashes with bzr-git 0.6.3

[Eli Zaretskii]

I have just installed bzr-git 0.6.3, and it now crashes in every branch created by bzr-git. It also crashes for an initial "branch" command. For example:

D:\usr\eli\bzr>bzr branch git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gawk.git gawk2
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: can't set attribute

Is bzr-git 0.6.4 supposed to fix this? If so, it doesn't: I still get a crash with any "bzr pull" or "bzr branch" command. Here's one backtrace:

Actually, the fix for 2.4 compatibility didn't make it into 0.6.4. Trunk should work though. Sorry about that.

[Eli Zaretskii (eliz)]

Is the fix in bzr core, then? The bug resolution doesn't seem to indicate that.

Anyway, having it work only with trunk means it will only be available in bzr 2.6, as 2.5 is already in beta, is that right?

If so, it's too bad, as bzr-git 0.6.4 includes several important improvements, like support for tracking several branches after git-import, and waiting for them for months would be a pity. Even if it will be in 2.5.0, it could be a couple of months away.

Is there any reasonable way to have this working with 2.4.x?

In any case, if bzr-git is going to crash with bzr 2.4.x for basic commands, this should be reflected on the download page, and a button to download an earlier version should be available there, I think.

Thanks.

bzr-git trunk, as of this morning.

Cheers,

Jelmer

[Eli Zaretskii (eliz)]

Or maybe it's my misunderstanding, and you meant bzr-git's trunk?

I thought it was in bzr-git 0.6.4 because the bug resolution said milestone: 0.6.4 and "Fix released".

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Yes, indeed.

The confusion was on my part, I thought I'd already landed the fix for this before I rolled 0.6.4 but apparently not. You should be good to go with bzr 2.4.x and bzr-git trunk.
