Title: Configuration not pulled on clone
Status: Fixed Type: Code_Defect
Severity: Important Priority:
Subsystem: Resolution: Fixed

Description & Comments:
When cloning some repositories, the above mentioned version of Fossil fails to pull configuration data. This results in the project appearing as unnamed with an empty homepage. Doing a pull of the config resolves this, but as was noted on the mailing list, it should happen on clone. Here are two repositories that are affected:

http://spielproject.info http://dev.thewordnerd.info/touchtype

Interestingly enough, cloning the main Fossil repository seems to work. I've experienced this same behavior on other servers, so I'm not necessarily sure it's my server's fault.

I've done a bit more work to try specifying this problem. Today I've:

  • Identified another repository where this happens, namely http://hermesgps.info. To be clear, the only repository that works is Fossil's. All of mine fail.
  • Upgraded both my client and server to trunk.
  • Rebuilt all repositories on the server.
  • Dumped the offending configs. They are all default and appear OK.
  • Cloned the repositories from another server with the same results.

Any other advice on debugging this would be greatly appreciated, but as of now I've done all that I can think of on my end.
