Hi

I can't imagine Kallithea itself can have caused that.

It sounds more like the usual Mercurial append-only / locking protocol 
has been violated. Perhaps by rsync running while writing to the 
repository. Or perhaps by Kallithea holding on to a cached repo object 
while the underlying file system content was changed without 
invalidating the cache.
