I’m in the same boat, doing two actions for every one in other SCM systems, 
however I do not do it dozens of times a day, so I’ve always just done it 
with a little gnashing of the teeth. I wonder if an option isn’t in order 
maybe with a preference? Thus CVS guys can have it their way and normal 
people can have it the right way?

Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Behavior of rm, mv, and changes/extra

  $ fossil rm file1
  DELETED file1
  $ ls
  file1
  $ rm file1

  Is there a reason behind this design decision?

Because that is the way CVS works.  And Fossil was written to replace CVS as 
the CM system for SQLite.

Oh, you mean a *good* reason for this behavior?  Then the answer is "no".

I fear to change it now, though, since it might really mess up people who 
are used to the older style.


  I'm on the verge of
  creating my own wrapper script around fossil to get this done in one
  step. Especially at early stages of the project I perform these
  operations frequently. It just feels wrong to have to say the same
  thing (as I see it) twice.

  fossil changes; fossil extra; :

  These guys I just dont get. I had to write an alias in my bashrc just
  because it was getting really annoying. I use 'hg status' and 'git
  status' multiple times before I commit to get an instant look at what
  im doing: what file have I touched AND what new files have I created
  that I need to remember to add to source control. With fossil I have
  to execute two commands to get the same amount of information. If I do
  just fossil changes, I inevitably forget to 'fossil add' something.
  Again, this is especially relevant during the early stages of a
  project where things change much more dramatically (at least in my
  case.)

  To recap: Why not perform file system changes when fossil is
  instructed to delete or rename a file? Why not have a single command
  that gives you ALL differences between your working tree and the
  repository?

  Best,

  -Nick
