Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Commit Failure

[John F Meinel Jr]

Actually, there was no ++revision-lock/+contents because I had earlier 
deleted a patch I didn't mean to apply.
By adding those directories, the commit worked.
Is there a way to delete a patch you didn't mean to commit _properly_. I 
have finally forsworn ever going into the archive directory structure, 
so it would be nice if I accidentally do a commit, that there is a way 
to get rid of it.
