If run this test scenario you would get clone error at the end with non-zero exit code, please, fix:

...
...
+ cd ..
+ pijul clone repo repo2
Downloading changes [===============================================] 35/35    
           Applying [===============================================] 35/35    
 Completing changes [                                               ] 0/0    
Error: failed to fill whole buffer
$

Maybe this test is illegal.

I will wait for comment then.

problem occurs only if I record changes.

• pijul add -rf .pijul/pristine - OK
• pijul add -rf .pijul/changes - Error: failed to fill whole buffer
