I'm having this exact issue on my locally installed version of Kiln. The kicker is, I have successfully set up dozens of repos and branched them. At first, a few branches would randomly fail when I tried to create them, but I could go to a different repo and branch. Now, however, I cannot seem to branch any of my repos.

I've tried different browsers, etc. On my activity screen, I see the following:

repo-name ยป repo-branch (Deleted) created as a new branch

As if it's getting created then deleted. The linked post mentions a routing issue; could this issue still exist? I'm running the latest Kiln (I believe, just bought and installed late last week).

After I posted this, I went back to my repo and tried again - and was able to branch MOST of the remaining repos, including those that had trouble before. However, the original repo that failed branching still will not branch. It has a very normal name (iss-dev), and it's already been branched once so I don't think there's an issue with the content or anything. – Josh Denmark Mar 30 2010 at 23:24
Well, a bit later, and I managed to get my branch created. I ended up deleting the parent branch, then recreating it and then the offending one and it worked without issue. I'm assuming the problem was that the initial branch failed for whatever reason (server hiccup, I dunno!), and it was in creation limbo. By deleting the parent branch, some hidden id or something changed and it allowed me to create. – Josh Denmark Mar 31 2010 at 0:32
Do you access your local Kiln install from more than one URL / hostname? – Ben Kamens♦ Mar 31 2010 at 14:32
Help ! I'm getting this exact same problem on our own hosted Kiln. There are only two repositories. The one I am trying to branch from was imported from SVN and has since had several changesets added to it. There have been no other 'Kiln' branches (i.e. copies) made as yet, but there is a Mercurial branch that has been merged, so only one tip. Tried in IE, Firefox and the same result, just hangs even if left for over an hour. – Pablo In NZ Jan 5 2011 at 21:02
