Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Attachment: use -r tip when pulling from hg.mozilla.org

There is a bug upstream in Hg that seems to be dealing with the exact same problem we are having with hg, and it's said that using:

hg pull -r tip

works around the problem. I suggest we change client.py to do that until the issue is resolved.

Callek actually knows client.py stuff better than me right now.

r+, though this is definately a strange fix.

Can you please cite the upstream bugs url in a comment here, thanks.
