A conforming repository contains artifacts a conforming parser declines. The artifact grammar requires the U card on a wiki artifact; fossil elides it when the submitter is "nobody", stores the result and syncs it. A clone of the canonical fossil repository therefore carries such artifacts, and assembly rejected the whole repository over one of them while timeline, ls, info and branch read the same store correctly.

The two conditions are separated by the name. Bytes that hash to the name they are stored under arrived and were stored correctly, so the only event is that this reader's grammar does not admit them; the artifact is opaque to state and is skipped, exactly as a non-participating type already is. Bytes that do not hash to their name are an integrity failure and stay fatal. Verification runs before the skip, which is what keeps the second from being swallowed by the first.

On a clone of the fossil repository, 67499 artifacts: update went from exit 1 having materialised nothing, to materialising all 983 files byte-identical to fossil's own checkout of the same check-in. closed check-in: f4736670a8 user: dmestas tags: fix10-tolerance
