That's my understanding from having skipped over symlinks support in libfossil so far. That means that symlinks support is not what you want for this purpose. Real symlinks to the files, but symlinks support explicitly turned off, should serve the basic purpose - having the content of those files in the repo. IIRC, if symlinks support is off, checking out the repo initially will create a file under the checkout dir with the contents of the linked-to file. i think. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
