Crash with ProgrammingError: unsupported changeid 'xxxxx' of type <type 'str'>

Tortoise HG crashes when I try to commit to a separate branch ('anton'). The issue looks like a duplicate for #5162, but it's not resolved in 4.7.1 for me.

Here is the stack trace:

commit: use scmutil.revsymbol() to look up existing branch (fixes #5226)

Maybe it shouldn't look for the other namespaces such as bookmarks, but this is exactly what we did before.

So what can I do. Issue #5226 RESOLVED At 2018-09-21 and i can get only 2018-09-16 Install MSI. So TortoiseHG don't work for me.

Thanks Zoran

Like Zoran mentioned above, I am getting the same error, and thus cannot commit anymore, however I can see someone made the same named branch in the past and then closed it. If this would help as well.

But the fact that I cannot commit anymore is quite blocking... Is there a workaround for this? Or can I download a nightly myself? Or should I follow the guide to create my own 'nightly'?

Apparently same as issue #5246

Not sure if it's completely safe, but downgrade to 4.6.1 (latest stable version for now) solved the issue. Looking forward to 4.7.2 with the fix for this issue.

Yes, I did exactly the same, reverting to 4.6.1 solved the issue. But sadly I upgraded to 4.7.x because of a different issue in 4.6.1, no sure anymore which issue. So let us hope it does not happen again.

OK. I must say too. I was forced too to downgrade my favorite tool.... LP

The bug still exist - can't commit to default branch, when tip revision is in another:

The issue is fixed. The next version (4.7.2) of TortoiseHg will include it.

Good job! Thank you!
