the only github think i've really missed when using fossil for non-personal projects is the ability to comment on a diff. I have two different usecases for that: the first and most obvious is to open a commit, check the diff (from the previous version) and add comments about the changes actually done. if it goes on the right direction, missing stuff, etc. depending on context, what i tend to do is either edit the commiit's comment, or file a ticket with a link to the commit. the latter is the most "correct" way, but it's harder to keep in context. and neither allows me to reference a specific point in the code. the second case is when a branch is nearing completion and becomes a candidate for merging. then, i review the diff and should file a ticket. but it's hard to reference the diff itself. (yes, copy/paste the url works but it's tedious and error prone). again, no way to link a comment with a specific line. is there a way to see what a merge would do in diff style? that alone replaces most of the functionality of Pull Requests. ideally, on any diff view (a commit, a diff between two versions, a merge preview), i'd like to add comments right there, interleaved with the code. optionally added to a ticket too; so that opening the ticket would show all related comments, each with a short view of the code and a link to the full context. -- Javier _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
