Mercurial hg Subrepository issue - "abort: unknown revision'
Note: I asked this yesterday over at kiln.stackexchange.com, but haven't gotten an answer, and it's holding up my work. So I figured I'd give it a shot here.
My main mercurial repository has a bunch of subrepositories in it. During initial setup, I made a mistake in my .hgsub. Namely, I pointed two subrepositories to the same directory.
What I should have had:
sites/1=sites/1
sites/2=sites/2
sites/3=sites/3
What I actually had:
sites/1=sites/1
sites/2=sites/2
sites/2=sites/3
Stupid copy/paste error. I committed the incorrect .hgsub, not realizing my error. A few revisions later, while adding a some new subrespositories to .hgsub, I noticed the mistake and fixed it inside .hgsub. I committed and kept rolling along. I've committed a reasonable amount of work that I'd prefer not to redo since I 'fixed' the mistake in .hgsub.
Now we come to the actual problem: I've made some changes inside the subrepository sites/3, and when I try to commit the main repository, I get the following error:
abort: unknown revision 'LongGUIDLookingString'
I found this discussion, which seems to address the same problem I'm having, but I can't quite work out how bos fixed it. What do I need to do in order to fix this?
Relevant section of .hgsubstate:
7d1e430ac5f12e00cb5bebcdf693e72db2c45732 sites/1
6eea936a5b7cfff6169f59d0dc1c8c4eb5f8412d sites/2
e2b83b301997de8add1b659d82a7ab8201bda653 sites/3
Answer
I'd guess the .hgsubstate file now contains a hashid (which is what your LongGUIDLookingString is) from repo3 in the repo2 entry.
Try editing .hgsubstate to point to a correct/present hashid for each repo.
If that doesn't work, please paste i your .hgsubstate file so we can see how it can be tweaked.
