This says the damage occurred in changeset 11 (of 40)?

Normal behavior for errors encountered on commit is to roll back the transaction
in question. It's not clear from your report that that didn't in fact happen and
that the damage didn't actually occur much earlier.

Unfortunately, I don't have a traceback for the commit.  As I remember, the
output simply said something like "Write failed (quota exceeded)" without a
python traceback.

The output of hg verify:

and can you run 'hg verify' and report the result ?

thanks

do you have a traceback for the commit ?

I tried to run commit today and went over my quota.  I ran the status command in
the directory to see if there was anything that needed to be done about that
after I had freed up some space.  The status seemed fine.  However, when I tried
to clone the directory, I got the following backtrace.

** unknown exception encountered, details follow

I apologize if this is a know issue; I don't follow hg development.  My feeling,
however, is that the commit should have been backed out when writing the file
failed because the disk seemed full.
