[pisa] tla shenanigans (for the last time)

Let's start with the trivial: It seems nobody ever bothered to configure
tla to ignore certain files in the hipl tree. On every commit stuff like
These files would be source but lack inventory ids (`tla add' or a tagline
perhaps?):
Makefile
[.. long list of generated files ..]
gets printed. Well, nobody ever cared. It's a minor thing but showcases
the hipl state of disrepair quite well :-/
Now on to the serious stuff...
Every time I commit the tree ends up in a broken state. Committing is
no longer possible, even looking at a diff fails (no wonder nobody ever
checks their own commits):
(jaunty)biurrun@power:~/src/hipl--userspace $ tla diff -- configure.ac
* local directory is at
hipl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/hipl--userspace--2.6--patch-3064
corrupt pristine (failed inode signature validation)
archive: hipl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
revision: hipl--userspace--2.6--patch-3064
directory
/srv/home/biurrun/src/hipl--userspace/{arch}/++pristine-trees/unlocked/hipl/hipl--userspace/hipl--userspace--2.6/hipl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/hipl--userspace--2.6--patch-3064
You should remove this pristine from your tree.
Removing this pristine does not help at all. On the contrary, the tree
ends up in an even more inconsistent state.
I can work around this by blowing away the hipl tree and getting a new
one, but *come on*, how frigging stupid is that...
I have terminally had enough of tla shenanigans. Everybody's time is
being wasted on a grand scale. Well, mine no longer is:
I solemnly swear by all that is holy (and some that is not) that I will
not work with tla any longer. I'm officially on tla strike now. There,
I said it, cannot take it back.
I suggest everybody else does the same, it will be for the better.
Diego - frustrated for good
