Hi,

I have been using tla for about four months; few problems, and those
that I had were usually easily resolved with some help from the Wiki.

One problem I seem to get quite frequently, though: I get warnings
about corrupt pristines that result in failed commits, e.g.:

,----
| corrupt pristine (failed inode signature validation)
|     archive: albert@tf.phys.ntnu.no--20040619
|     revision: common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917--base-0
|     directory
|     /home/gudrun/albert/tla/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917/{arch}/++pristine-trees/unlocked/common-lisp-math/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917/albert@tf.phys.ntnu.no--20040619/common-lisp-math--pde-1st-order--20040917--base-0
`----

Some googling suggests a connection with NFS (which is used here).

I am not quite sure how best to proceed from here; in the past I
checked out the previous version, copied over the files, and committed
then, which is slightly tedious and, I suppose, not really necessary.
Should I just delete everything under the listed directory as `tla
changes --diffs`

,----
| You should remove this pristine from your tree.
`----

seems to suggest, and is this safe?  The last thing I want is to loose
the data.

TIA,

Albert.
