[Python-apps-team] Bug#636396: mercurial: Cloning fails with: mpatch.mpatchError: patch cannot be decoded

[Arno Huggenfeld]

here are the results for make tests:

1. 1.9.2 with alignment=0
# Ran 412 tests, 12 skipped, 203 failed.
log in attachment tests-1.9.2-alignment-0.log.gz 
it produced 1642 user space alignment traps

2. 1.9.2 with alignment=2
# Ran 412 tests, 12 skipped, 23 failed.
some of failed ones are time outs, could be because of the slow machine.
(ARM926 400MHz, 128 MB RAM + 2GB Swap)
log in attachment tests-1.9.2-alignment-2.log.gz
it produced 116887 user space alignment traps which resulted in 1955
Half, 107150 Word and 7782 Multi fixes.

3. 1.9.2+21-bfe903b1ff4e+20110914 with alignment=0
# Ran 415 tests, 11 skipped, 226 failed. 
log in attachment 1.9.2+21-bfe903b1ff4e+20110914-alignment-0.log.gz
it produced 3126 user space alignment traps

The system was running it normal work load parallel to the tests so the numbers for traps and fixed could be slightly wrong.
