I was going to post this to pijul’s nest repo, but looks like I can’t (see my other recent topic).

A friend of mine had this bug with pijul. I don’t know exactly everything that happened, but I’ll give what I remember him telling me. He had local changes, and he did a `pijul pull` to merge in the newest patches. This resulted in conflicts. I believe he said he made a patch to fix these conflicts, but then had to unrecord that patch. This resulted in pijul erroring out with every single pijul command that he tried to do - none of the commands would work anymore. This is the backtrace:

```auto

If there is a way to reproduce (for instance a tarballs of the repository including the .pijul) it would be fixable. Is it Pijul 0.12?

Yes, it’s 0.12  
I’ll tell my friend to upload a zip/tar here.
