| | I recently encountered an issue with cloning a Mercurial repository where it would fail with an obtuse error stating that "[command returned code 255 Mon Mar 25 11:39:55 2013]". My initial Googling implied that this was caused by a server timeout but the problem persisted even after increasing the timeout on our Apache web server. The clone was always failing on one particular file - a 600Mb binary. (Don't ask...)

In a simple project features are simple, as you would expect. In more complex projects which use cargo workspaces the behavior of features becomes much more complicated and in some cases..surprising!
