Error running Mercurial

by b10971 . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

Hi,

I’m a new user of the Mercurial system. I am trying out the system the first time on my pc, and got some error messages when I try to “hg ci” my changes on my local repository.

This were the steps that I took

-create directory on unix system (Solaris)
-mv some txt files into the directory
-run hg init on that directory (successful)

-run hg ci -A
response:
HG: user: MT KHOO
HG: branch default
HG: changed x1.txt
~
~
~
~
“/tmp/hg-editor-fBtjNQ.txt” 4 lines, 80 characters

-Ctrl-z because no response from terminal
-run hg status
response:
cvsserv{b10971}116:hg status
A x1.txt

-vi x1.txt
-edit x1.txt (add some lines)
-hg status
response:
cvsserv{b10971}119:hg status
A x1.txt.

The respnse shows that I have not modified the file (the “A” before xi.txt), but in fact, I have already done so!!.

-when I run “hg ci” again, the response shows:
cvsserv{b10971}120:hg ci
waiting for lock on working directory of /user/b10971/test6 held by ‘cvsserv:103
00’

Any idea whats going on??
