Actually, the "prev" keyword already does something.. Example: $ fossil diff --from prev will give you diff between current checkout from previous version on repository. or $ fossil diff --from prev myfile.c Here, prev mean previous version globally, not previous version of the specified file... This is not on the help, but I found this on the source.. http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/artifact/ab3b8161d773d9619a709c92ef33b799cc473a74?ln=49-72 -- Martin G. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
