AssertionError: Offset was: workdir Path was: workdir_longer/file about boar HOT 6 CLOSED

hmm, I didn't realize it's issue 12 . 

Good catch. This is a bug in how offset checkouts are handled. The update 
procedure excludes all files outside the current workdir by only including the 
ones starting with the offset of the current workdir. That is, if the offset is 
"workdir", it should include "workdir/file1.txt" but exclude 
"workdir_longer/file2.txt". The broken test only checks if the filename starts 
with the offset, even if that is only the beginning of a dir name. This causes 
some unexpected files be passed on to another subroutine which notices that 
something is wrong, and throws the given exception. The corrected version 
should check if the files starts with the offset plus a dir separator.

Fixed in changeset 305:47928f30f85f. I solved it in a different way than the 
given patch (it caused some other tests to fail). Thanks for noticing this 
problem, it might have been a while before this subtle but serious bug would 
had been found otherwise. Please verify that it works.

it works, cool.
