Bug 795651 – dev-util/pkgdev IndexError: pop from an empty deque

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Gilbert 2021-06-12 18:30:47 UTC]

The pkgdev commit command seems to get confused when file copies are detected by git-diff. Disabling the "diff.renames" setting works around this.

> copies

Fixed in https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgdev/commit/4bc144d8.

For future note, please report upstream bugs on github if you can since I don't always notice b.g.o bugs.
