That "should" do it, i think. Something like manually typing out.... ------------------------ C my\scommit D 2015-01-22T01:02:03 U yourname ------------------------ Now pipe that through md5sum for z-card: md5sum mymf 3f73e5387a2d59468a3e7ed355dba755 mymf echo 'Z 3f73e5387a2d59468a3e7ed355dba755' >> mymf (CAREFUL: you need Unix newlines.) Stuff that file into the blob table and rebuild. i _think_ that would do it, but ymmv. If that does, let me know and i'll add a libfossil tool/option to do it for you once i'm off of medical leave. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
