Although auto > sync does work. It does not "reset" your password; it rather creates a single user for this repository, which is then granted admin privileges. The idea is that cloning only fetches "the data", that is, artifacts which are commits, trees, blobs, wiki pages, bugs, documentation etc. "The configuration", even though it's physically kept in the same database file, is an orthogonal concept and it's quite logically excluded from cloning because different hosting locations of the same data might have radically different requirement for the scenarios of accessing it. If you happen to have the same username on both machines, the user names of these admin users of both your repositories will be the same and that's what probably made you think the user list is cloned. You can override the admin user name of a newly-created local repo using the --admin-user|-A option when cloning. > I know this is a minor problem because fossil ui seems to > automatically log me in on the local repository, but I'd prefer it if > I could keep the passwords the same. Is there a way to do this? Change your local password by running $ fossil user password $username [-R /path/to/repo.fossil] (the optional bit is only needed if you run this command not within an open checkout). Probably you can also pull the configuration from the remote repo using $ fossil config pull user (I'm not sure it will work though--never did it myself). _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
