I couldn't reproduce it, but +IIRC both felix and tbm reported problems in this area. And, felix kindly +sent me enough of his git repo to hopefully reproduce it the problem. + +Finally got back to that today. Luckily, I *was* able to reproduce the bug +using felix's repo. The bug only occurs when there's a change deep in a +tree of an adjusted branch, and not always then. After staring at it for a +couple of hours, I finally found the problem; a modification flag was not +getting propigated in this case, and some changes made deep in the tree +were not getting included into parent trees. + +So, I think I've fixed it, but need to look at it some more to be sure, and +develop a test case. And fixing that exposed another bug in the same code. +Gotta run unfortunately, so will finish this tomorrow.. + +Today's work was sponsored by Riku Voipio. |
