cloning local repo does not work
rel: 0.2.20230523-092610+f12b7eee / win10
cloning a local sl repo raises an error steps to reproduce a.) create a new repo
sl init --git test cd test echo "" >foo sl add foo sl commit -m "foo" cd ..
b.) clone repo sl clone test test2
c.) error is raised abort: F:\sl\test2.sl/store\gitdir: The system cannot find the file specified
comparing with test it should be git and not gitdir, but anyway neither git nor gitdir exists in test2
It also does not work if creating the new sub directory manually, e.g.
mkdir test3 cd test3 sl clone ../test
--> abort: F:\sl\test3\test.sl/store\gitdir: The system cannot find the file specified
The error message can improve. But this is otherwise intentional. Sapling is more focused on a client/server setup. It has diverged from a traditional "distributed" source control where the client has everything the server has.
Understood, but if this is a not supported use case sl should terminate at the very beginning with a brief message instead of aborting in the middle of something.
