If it's a subcommand of "wiki" then the ability to use any unique short
form of it doesn't come for free (that only works for top-level commands).

:-?



I was unaware of this capability, and it makes sense to me. The length 
of the command didn't worry me since my main use is from inside an ant 
script, but I can see the advantage and I'm very happy to make this change.

i like the idea but am concerned that "attachment" might be annoyingly long
to type on the CLI. If you'll move it into its own top-level command then
it could take advantage of fossil's built-in "auto-shortening" of top-level
commands, e.g.:

fossil att[achment] add ...

If it's a subcommand of "wiki" then the ability to use any unique short
form of it doesn't come for free (that only works for top-level commands).

Would this change also make sense for (a future extension) of fossil
att[chment] --ticket , to add an attachment to a ticket?



It does, though adding an "attachment" subcommand to ticket would have 
been the corresponding variate.


Would adding the capability be of use to you? It's a relatively trivial 
extension to an attachment command version

[fossil-users] Adding attachments via the command line

[David Vines]

I now have a prototype for command line access to add attachments to 
wiki pages and tech notes. I'd like to ask for any feedback on the 
command itself before I polish my changes and put the changes up for review:


   fossil wiki attachment add ?PAGENAME? FILENAME [-t|--technote DATETIME ]

  Add an attachment to an existing wiki page or tech note. One of
  PAGENAME or DATETIME must be specified.

I made "attachment" as a noun to allow for the later addition of other 
verbs like list and export. I don't propose to change the ticket since 
(a) I don't need it myself and (b) the existing ticket command just 
modifies the metadata for existing tickets and doesn't allow creation of 
tickets or the addition of text to existing tickets.
