Somehow, I wound up with an inode signature file whose entire contents
were address@hidden The error I got was:
arch: ill formated input
input source:
./{arch}/,,inode-sigs/address@hidden
I thought this was a reference to the project tree. It was actually a
reference to the revision library. Took ages to sort that out.
Ideally, the message would be along the lines of:
corrupt library (invalid inode signature file)
archive: address@hidden
revision: engine--devel--7.6--patch-270
You should remove this revision from your library.
I think the whole thing would be simpler if errors were handled by
returning 0 or similar. It's quite difficult to propogate useful error
reporting state from libraries.c to relational.c through inode-sigs.c
