[fossil-users] How to cancel file added through add?
Hello How do we cancel the result of add, ie. tell Fossil to *not* add such and such new file the next time the user runs fossil commit? I need to do this sometimes when I mistakenly used add to add a new file to the repository. delete/rm seem to tell Fossil to stop watching a file (and keep all the revisions in the repo): Remove one or more files or directories from the repository. I checked all the commands in fossil help dummy, but didn't find a command that looked like it did the trick. Thank you. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

No worries, glad I could help! So the online help is a bit wrong: Remove one or more files or directories from the repository. This command does NOT remove the files from disk. It just marks the files as no longer being part of the project. In other words, future changes to the named files will not be versioned. There have been many messages thrown around recently about the `fossil rm` command (see the archives), but I would say the correctness of the documentation depends on your definition of repository. I think the author wrote using the definition of repository where it does not encompass the working set of files on disk (the checked out versions), but only those things stored within the actual fossil file where all artifacts are stored. Looked at from that perspective, the documentation is correct, although it could be more clear to those who come to the software without that perspective.

Makes sense. In any case, it's always a bit involved to make the distinction between the checked out version of a file (in the current work directory) and the different versions available in the repository. Personally, I would have used fossil cancel myfile.c just to tell Fossil to ignore this file that was added with, well, add. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
