version control - Cannot clone Mercurial repo - abort: repository http://hg.something.com/something error -
i ran command clone repo
[19:07:19 root /data]$ hg clone http://hg.something.com/something dir abort: repository http://hg.something.com/something not found! [19:07:19 root /data]$
i not sure why hg says cannot find repo when can access repo http://hg.something.com/something
web browser. same command works colleague's machine. , ping
hg.something.com works fine. 1 more thing have same repo cloned using same command in same directory few days back. hg
totally operational inside directory.
any hint may causing problem?
ps: can't use ssh. have stick http.
i found peculiar problem. had copied repo link web browser looked this-
if see there small character ( red circle ) indicates repo link. when copied whole command, character got copied. when pasted command linux terminal, turned invisible character , such never spot mercurial could.
when pasted whole command vim, showed "invisible" character this-
hg clone <200b>http://hg.something.com/fs
so invisible character zero width space.
quite insidious bug though!
