Inconsistent delta when fast-import'ing from git

Hi, James,

I guess this is bug 514560 which is still open. You could try running bzr-fastimport from <https://code.launchpad.net/~ian-clatworthy/bzr-fastimport/inconsistent-delta-fixes> and let us know if that fixes it.

Hi Martin,

Apologies for the late reply - I'll try that branch now and see if it fixes my problem.

Hi Martin,

I've checked out that branch, but when I try to 'selftest' the plugin, I keep getting the following error:

bzr: ERROR: No module named configobj
You may need to install this Python library separately.

What platform are you running bzr on? If it's Debian or Ubuntu you might
have to install python-configobj (which the bzr package depends on).

Hi Jelmer,

I'm running it on Ubuntu. It actually turns out that branch is quite old, and only imports configobj from the bzrlib. It turns out newer versions try this, then fall back to native configobj if it isn't available. When I added this code in, the library started working.

Unfortunately, it seems this version still throws the same 'inconsistent delta' problem I was seeing with the packaged version.

If you're running on debian/Ubuntu, you can "apt-get install
python-configobj". On Windows, we should be bundling configobj with the
bzrlib source, but debian pulled that out to use the system configobj.

:-( Another thing you could try is to use the "bzr git-import" command
from the bzr-git plugin for the import.

Hi Jelmer,

I've just tried this, but unfortunately it suffers from the same bug Git does where oddly named filenames break the exporter/importer!

bzr: ERROR: The key 'spec/blueprints/sjt__blueprint.rb
_s_slead__in
_s_sscenario
_s_sanswers_s_s_s_s_s{_sSham.answers__object_s}
_s_sjustification__selected
_s_sjustification__unselected
_s_smark__scheme_s{_sSham.single__mark__scheme__object_s}
end
mcq__blueprint.rb' is not a valid key.

I've filed a bug against bzr-git to try and ascertain if this problem can be fixed.
