Re: [fossil-users] Linux/Windows USB
Hi Martin, Thanks! Your solution is elegant, works and was just what was required.

Is there a workaround for this? You could use the distributed nature of fossil and only put the repository on your usb key (the .fossil) and make a clone on your 2 systems. With autosync, everytime you commit or update, you get your change synced on your usb key. Or another alternative, if you are not allowed to have a clone on your system at home, you could open a check on the usb key for your system at home, and make a clone on your windows 7 laptop at work. So that way, you never use a checkout on 2 different system. An advantage of this is that you have some backup of your work, so if you loose you usb or something happens with your laptop, you are safe. -- Martin G. ___ 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
Re: [fossil-users] Linux/Windows USB
Thanks Andy. This works. In the end i just keep the repository on the USB, make 2 clones and keep one clone on each platform.

Re: [fossil-users] Linux/Windows USB
Thanks Edward, This works indeed. in the end the solution was to keep only the repository on the usb and create a checkout on each platform.

If you open the repository using a relative path I think Fossil will remember the relative path (it used to convert it to an absolute path but that changed some time ago). Also, some aspects of Windows can handle forward-slashes in filenames.

Re: [fossil-users] Linux/Windows USB
Thanks! The solution that was easiest to implement was to keep just the repo on the USB and make checkins on each platform.
