Re: [fossil-users] Nested check-outs
Hi Will, fossil open --nested allows opening a fossil within an existing checkout. This question came up earlier this week as well; it may be worth looking at the archives. Solutions included fossil open --nested and scripting a checkout of external dependencies. Cheers, Gareth On Thu, 17 Nov 2011 04:38:49 -, Will Duquette w...@wjduquette.com wrote: Howdy!

I knew I'd seen something, but I couldn't remember enough about what it was to even go looking for it. If I understand it correctly from the previous posts to the list, using fossil open --nested just allows a nested checkout to live within a parent checkout without confusing fossil; but the two checkouts are essentially separate. In other words, it's like a Subversion svn:external, except that fossil doesn't check it out for you automatically; you have to do that yourself (i.e., by make getmydependencies or something like that).
