Well here's a fun thing that just happened: tif@w...:~/Projects/ACSS/project$ fossil extra | grep -v db/ site/common/classes/document_manager.php tif@w...:~/Projects/ACSS/project$ fossil extra | grep -v db/ | xargs fossil add ADDED site/common/classes/#document_manager.php# ADDED site/common/classes/document_manager.php So in the time it took me to type up-arrow | xargs fossil add my editor pulled an auto-save, and fossil added (2) files instead of one. Now I've got: 1. a file in my repo that I don't want 2. and it's not under version control, so I can't get it back if fossil deletes it It's a simple fossil rm away from being solved, but ... Assume a destructive fossil rm, and let's say the file is precious rather than just an autosave file. Lots of ways to get around the auto delete, but not necessarily obvious ones and someone, somewhere is going to learn how it works the first time by having fossil delete their file unexpectedly. Nope, I suddenly find myself a fan of the two step process as it stands. -- Themba Fletcher _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
