drh> Fossil allows you to commit a subset of files (by listing the files on the "fossil commit" command line) but there is no mechanism for committing a subset of lines within a single file.
That, and there _are_ branches/tags which are encouraged to be used... my prev comment was for the case where a single file gets two-thoughts worth of changes (subset of lines). For subsets of lines (assume we want two logical commits), I head to my editor, tease out logical section1 -> tmp file. fossil stash save -m "logical thought temp1" ./file-of-interest; re-enter tmp.file -> file-of-interest; fossil ci -m "description of logical thought" ./file-of-interest; fossil stash pop [edit if necessary]; fossil ci -m "description of other logical thought" ./file-of-interest If one is using feature branches though, you'll be prompted to save as you switch between them, keeping your fossil repo up-to-date. -bch On 6/5/14, Richard Hipp <d...@sqlite.org> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 11:08 PM, Alysson Gonçalves de Azevedo < > agalys...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I started to use fossil just today, but let me participate too :) >> >> Everyday I have a list of tasks that I have to work on and when I finish, >> I like to separate the changes of each task by commit. >> >> To do that, I just open GUI, check the lines of the files that i want to >> commit. >> (Just like this print: >> http://i1-linux.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/gitg_5.jpg, where I >> click on the - and + to stage the line). >> >> But today, using fossil, I couldn't find anyway to do that, so I had to >> put all the changes on the same commit. >> > > Fossil allows you to commit a subset of files (by listing the files on the > "fossil commit" command line) but there is no mechanism for committing a > subset of lines within a single file. > > > > >> >> Well, in the theory I can work on one task at time and commit when I >> finish, but in the practice I work on all the tasks at same time. >> >> >> >> Alysson Gonçalves de Azevedo >> >> "Anarcho-syndicalism is a way of preserving freedom." - Monty Python >> >> >> 2014-06-04 21:14 GMT-03:00 Warren Young <war...@etr-usa.com>: >> >> On 6/4/2014 10:50, Richard Hipp wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> The staging area complicates the interface. >>>> >>> >>> Perhaps you will add some of this to the Fossil vs Git wiki page. >>> (Section 3.4?) >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> fossil-users mailing list >>> fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org >>> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users >>> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> fossil-users mailing list >> fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org >> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users >> >> > > > -- > D.
