Description of problem: quilt revert does not work after quilt refresh, but makes a hard link after quilt refresh. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quilt-0.47-1.fc10.x86_64 and i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a.txt, quilt, and edit a.txt. echo aaa > a.txt quilt new 1 quilt add a.txt echo xxx >| a.txt 2. Following sequence ends up with "File a.txt is unchanged" quilt refresh quilt revert a.txt whereas diff -u a.txt .pc/1/a.txt => --- a.txt 2009-01-01 22:21:49.000000000 +0900 +++ .pc/1/a.txt 2009-01-01 22:20:28.000000000 +0900 @@ -1 +1 @@ -xxx +aaa 3. After step 1, check the inodes of the saved original and the edited files. ls -i a.txt .pc/1/a.txt => 65968 .pc/1/a.txt 2359859 a.txt 4. revert without refresh quilt revert a.txt => Changes to a.txt in patch patches/1 reverted 5. Now the edited file became a hard link of the original, therefore subsequent edits on a.txt affect the both. ls -i a.txt .pc/1/a.txt => 65968 .pc/1/a.txt 65968 a.txt Actual results: quilt revert doesn't work properly. Expected results: quilt revert works properly after refresh, should not make a hard link of original. Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
