[Python-apps-team] Bug#725904: mercurial-common: hg view tags only show last word in tag

[D Haley]

Package: mercurial-common
Version: 2.6.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The following sequence of commands can produce a bug whereby a tag, such as "release version" will instead only show "version" in the tag view. This appears to be a regression, as this previously worked in earlier versions of hg view.

Here is a sesion reproducing the bug:

$ hg init .
$ hg commit -u "me" -m "commitMesg"
$ echo "otherstuff" > file
$ hg commit -u "me" -m "yacm"
$ hg tag -r 1 -m "commit tag" "Some Tag Here"
$ hg view

Instead of "Some Tag Here", i simply see "Here" in the tree display. The contents of .hgtags appears to be correct, and so does the output from hg tags.

I think *maybe* that it might be related to this change. Ive rarely used tcl.:

Thanks.
