Hello fossil developers, I am switching from git to fossil and decided to use compiled sources from trunk (003db810a282b3ba), according to http://www2.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/build.wiki (Aside: Is it really safe to use...)
However, the logic that "honours timezones" is plain wrong and leads to a permanent error during the first hours after the checkout. The timestamps in the git exports are stored in seconds since epoch. The timezone information is purely informational. Thus it is plain wrong, to modify the timestamp using that information. Please remove or change the change. What happened: ------------------- $ git fast-export --all | fossil import --git new-repo.fossil $ fossil open new-repo.fossil $ fossil status ... checkout: a26ddc725567348b47d558d4bfb807b60b529f31 2014-05-01 15:03:53 UTC parent: f1e6c85bdc0ce8cbdeca7a23d8393221e9bdc096 2014-04-30 16:18:44 UTC leaf: open tags: trunk $ date Thu May 1 15:44:44 CEST 2014 $ date -u Thu May 1 13:47:29 UTC 2014 $ touch foo $ fossil add foo ADDED foo $ fossil commit -m "try to commit something" ancestor check-in [a26ddc7255] (2014-05-01 13:52:04.031) is not older (clock skew?) Use --allow-older to override. ------------------- The checkout is the result of a fresh import as per http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/inout.wiki Any try to check in changes will lead to an error due to timestamp checking. Please comment, I would like to open a ticket against this change in trunk. In the meantime I will use release 1.28. Thanks and kind regards Ingo Struck _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
