Sorry for the noise! :-( > One notable caveat which might save you some trouble: if you're trying to save /etc, or similar, you're going to have to write wrapper scripts, as fossil does not support any permissions except the +x bit, does it know about any users except your own, and some files have strict requirements regarding permissions (/etc/shadow, ~/.ssh/id_ida, etc.). Fossil is not the right tool, by itself, for such uses of symlinks. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
