Traceback while trying to add directory under version control

[Grigory Entin]

I got traceback while trying to add pkg/dvc directory under version control (.bzr directory is in ~/.toast):

macpro% bzr add ~/.toast/pkg/dvc

bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.errors.PathNotChild: Path "/Users/eg/.toast/pkg/dvc" is not a child of path "/Volumes/Snark/Users/eg/.toast"

cwd was out of that ~/.toast directory (particularly, in /usr/local/src/sqlite_docs_3_5_8); when I did "cd ~/.toast", "bzr add pkg/dvc" succeeded.

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

It seems that somewhere is getting the real path to ~/.toast, namely /Volumes/Snark/Users/ rather than /Users/.toast.

I assume that /Users is a symlink to /Volumes/Snark/Users?

It suggests that we either need to not get the real path, or get the real path earlier.

My specific guess is that we take the path supplied, open the containing working tree. The WT then tracks the real path to its root, but then we try to add the paths using the supplied path again.

[Grigory Entin (esrb)]

Yes, /Users is a symlink to /Volumes/Snark/Users.

Seems to be a duplicate of bug 183831 - which itself may be a duplicate of (i.e. caused by) bug 124859.
