[Codestriker-user] obscure bug in codestriker

[Clendenan, D. <dav...@po...>]

I'm using 'cvs rdiff -D ...' to generate diffs in my scheduled review
generation, and I've come across an odd bug.

Yesterday I removed two binary files (libraries) from a directory, and
added a text placeholder.  Rdiff -D gives the initial rev as /dev/null
for the text file, since it didn't exist on the start date.  Using the
file generated this way gives a review of the diff file literally,
instead of the files it contains.

If the new file is the only one in the topic file I upload, it works
fine, if there are files after it, it breaks.

has anyone seen behaviour like this before?

Any idea where I should look to fix it?

thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

Can you send me the problematic diff file as an attachment to me?  The 
problem will be in Codestriker::FileParser::CvsUnidiff.pm, which is where 
the parsing of diff files occurs.  Thanks.

Cheers,
David
