We did some testing and it appears that the issue was related to the actual paths of some softlinks from which the initial 'fossil open' had been done. If the path was mounted at /mnt/foo/bar/ and they had a link on one box at ~/code/bar/ and on another box at ~/programs/bar/ we got the unreadable error. In other cases we did not. 2) Every little bit helps (re: 'mental health evaluation') _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
