Correct. If you run it from the root you'll see identical output to the current version. Richard is rightly very conservative about changes to Fossil, and asked it was off by default. I understand his reluctance to risk breaking anything, however remote the chance. > >> * empty-dirs setting > > This is the only one I don't like. I don't hate it, but it feels like an > odd hack. If it were to be implemented "properly", there'd be more code in the core to handle directories as another case, and impact to all the commands like add, delete, changes, and so on. This is fairly low impact, and allows fossil to retain the purity of design which focuses only on files, while still giving those who need this a way of getting what they need (or want?). Empty directory support has come up a few times on the list. That said, I agree with your description of it as an "odd hack".
