[Yt-dev] Transaction Abort on main hg repo

[Matthew Turk]

Hi all,

Just as a quick note, we've been seeing periodic aborts of cloning
from the main yt repository.  I'm trying to track this down, but as a
workaround I have placed some debugging commands into the install
script.

If you see this problem when re-cloning, please rerun with:

hg --debug --verbose --traceback clone ...

to see the traceback, and send it to me off-list.  I think it might
have been related to the debugging command I placed into the server
launcher two weeks ago while debugging some issues, but I'm not
entirely sure.  As a quick hack I've increased a couple timeouts, but
I'm not sure what the problem is.  In the new year sometime I may be
able to move us to a different server to handle this better.
