Re: [fossil-users] An idea to make command line life easier
Hmm... Clearly, it can be scripted in perl (@James) and in bash/awk
(@Lluís) and using other tools but:
1. The use of, say, '-r 1-3' syntax is much more convenient than
piping to awk everytime I need a selective commit, diff or alike.
2. Writing/using a separate perl/bash/whatever script seems much not
like the fossil many-in-one approach.
3. I'm on a win box and don't {have/want} to install
perl/cygwin/whatever to get tools, to build scripts, to use such a
feature.
4. As Stephan suggested, it seems not too difficult to implement.
5. Perhaps it is even not too costly to run everytime we need a
selective command.
More opinions welcome.
Cheers,
Jacek

How would it be different than:
fossil changes | awk '{ print NR " " $0; }'
or with your filter on lines:
fossil changes | awk '{ if(NR >= 3 && NR =< 4) print NR " " $0; }'

The first syntax wouldn't be ideal because the [ and ] operators actually mean something to unix shells, but the second form, including 1-3 could be done. In fact i have some C code for parsing ranges like that in another project of mine, and it would be easy enough to port that in. The only problem i see at the moment is that such numbers are transient - they potentially change with any given file-level change. e.g. fossil changes 1 abc 2 def 3 xyz then i edit file "lmn" and run: fossil commit -m '...' 1-3 it "could be" (and likely will be) that file lmn is now #3 (assuming lexical ordering). Fossil "could", as part of "changes" or "status" record the last known list, and check that list before allowing a commit to be performed, and erroring out if (A) the list has changed since the last "changes"/"status" and (B) the user supplied a numeric list on the CLI. A secondary (but probably minor) problem is that this syntax prohibits numerically named files (probably a rarity, but someone out there probably has 1 or 2 of them (no pun intended). useful. Also, could Richard, Stephan and others who spent more time on > i think that's the first time someone has accused me of being familiar with the fossil innards ;). i think the idea is interesting and quite possibly doable with relatively little effort, but i also know that i tend to miss some of the "bigger picture" pitfalls which others on this list historically point out for, so i'd like to wait and see what some of the others say... -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

[fossil-users] An idea to make command line life easier
Hi all, I've just got an idea about how to improve the use of fossil command line a bit. The main thing is to add an additional index column when running 'fossil changes', so instead of: > fossil cha EDITEDsomefile.x EDITEDdir\anotherone.xx EDITEDdir\somefile.x ... it would produce: > fossil cha 1 EDITED somefile.x 2 EDITED dir\anotherone.xx 3 EDITED dir\somefile.x ... Given the index a number of commands, like commit, diff, delete, could not only take file names as the input argument but also a number, a list of numbers, a range, etc. Then, to commit one could use sth like: > fossil commit -m "Some changes in dir" --filerange [2-3] or > fossil commit -m "Some changes in somefiles" --filerange 1,3 or any combination of these. I've looked into the source code and it seems that it would not be too difficult to implement (at least for commit; I didn't look thoroughly) but first would like to know your opinion if you would find that useful. Also, could Richard, Stephan and others who spent more time on fossil development say if this is really possible or rather I overlook something and there is an inherent flaw in the idea.
