I can't seem to get it to work. Could you provide an example demonstrating the method, or review my attempt (below) and provide corrections? mkdir test cd test/ mkdir repo mkdir project cd repo fossil init test.fossil cd ../project/ fossil open ../repo/test.fossil touch README mkdir empty1 mkdir notempty1 touch notempty1/foo.tcl tree . |-- empty1 |-- notempty1 | `-- foo.tcl `-- README mkdir .fossil-settings vi .fossil-settings/empty-dirs cat .fossil-settings/empty-dirs ./empty1 fossil add * ADDED README ADDED notempty1/foo.tcl fossil commit -m "Initial checkin" New_Version: 977b2342d05cd9b04fb6a1963fcbb7a96823fe75 _______________________________________________ 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
