Moreover, 'co' is a much slower operation. I think of 'update' as: bring my current working directory changes to the check-in I say, considering what I have checked out. And 'checkout' as: regardless of what I have in my working directory, bring there the files for the named check-in. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
