Ah, wonders of fiddling with email on mobile... (BTW, it did go on the list, but just the quote without my reply).
What I meant to say here is that the whole confusion about forks is due to the fact that they branch out under the same tag. I can't see the case where is this ever desirable. How about if the fork happens, simply change the tag automatically to 'fork-trunk' (i.e. prefix the existing repeating tag(s) with 'fork'), or just tag it as 'fork', on commit? That would be very visible, either prompting people to merge back and close the fork, or to rename the 'fork-' tag to meaningful branch name.

While it might be the most common case, merging does not explicitly state any intent beyond the merge itself, even a full merge. After all, a merge doesn't automatically close a named branch. So why would a merge automatically make a "fork" not a fork? Closing it or making it the start of a new, named branch explicitly indicate an intent to remove "fork" status. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org<mailto:fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
