Your feedback is useful. What is "obvious" to experienced Fossil users might not be apparent at all to newbies. And there isn't really any way for us to know where the pitfalls are without getting this kind of feedback. So please keep complaining. Yes, it would be good to improve the documentation. Volunteers? I won't rule out having two or more commands that do the same thing. If "fossil cat" is a useful usability enhancement, then it should be considered. Similar things have happened before. Ex: we added "fossil init" as a synonym for "fossil new" since "init" seems to be the keyword that Git users expect. > > > before, "-p" is pretty intuitive.. >> >> > > -- > Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ > ______________________________**_________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.**org <fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org> > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:**8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/**fossil-users<http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users> > -- D.
