Good idea. Or even stuffed in the DB, like the recent ci-comment change.

i don't include them in distribution tarballs. (i.e., they get in my way

Rather than create_manifest, i would recommend:

  manifest print  // dump to stdout
  manifest uuid // dump only manifest.uuid to stdout
  manifest create // creates manifest + manifest.uuid

[fossil-users] Path Separators

2009-12-18 Thread Clark Christensen
I'm using Fossil on MS Windows under the TCC/4NT shell, and am mostly really 
happy with it.  But the one thing that causes me the most problems is the 
forward slash path separator in the output from many fossil commands.

I often find myself using fossil status, then wanting to copy/paste a 
path/to/file from the output into the next command, perhaps fossil gdiff.  
Obviously, on Windows, this fails.  And it's a hassle to have to edit the path 
separators every time.

How do other Win/Fossil users handle this?

Would it make sense to change Fossil to output backslashes as the path 
separator on Windows platforms (path\to\file)?

Has this already been discussed?

Thanks!

 -Clark

Easy workaround unless/until fossil is changed would be to use the
http://www.cygwin.com/ bash shell.

I thought Richard answered that (in the message the one you answered was an 
answer
to!). Seems the only way to keep everyone happy would be to make it another
repository option.
