The following is based on the fact that I do not know whether there are any undocumented or poorly-documented features that would provide the described functionality, or whether I have simply failed to see what was right in front of my face after spending a fair bit of time staring at Fossil's help output.
## Related Questions Is there some way to merge history from another fossil repository into a brand new fossil repository created with "fossil init" locally? This would help me by allowing me to clone the repository from the server and import from Git to create a new repository, then merge from that new repository into the repository cloned from the server, then push changes to the repository on the server. Is there some way to push from a fossil repository to an arbitrary brand-new repository across HTTP(S)? This would help me by allowing me to import from Git to create a new repository, then simply push from the new Fossil repository to the existing (empty) repository on the server. The ability to do this seems like it would have many, many other potential uses in truly distributed version control workflows, too -- even if it only pushed (with all history) as a branch. Is there some way to create a repository so it does not have a dated "initial commit" just because the init command was used? It seems odd to me that the only DVCS that I have seen that cannot init a repository without an implicit initial commit is Fossil, and this would likely solve my present problem as well. Is there some way to revert the state of an entire repository, involving all files, to an earlier state? It never occurred to me there may not be, and this was obviously part of my earlier attempt to make the import work out for my needs. It seems that the ability to roll back the entire repository to an earlier state should exist for a variety of reasons, perhaps relegating anything undone by the rollback to a dead/closed branch. ## Unrelated Questions Is there any chance that Fossil will get a manpage or two at some point? -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
