[fossil-users] Questions about fossil
I love fossil and use it in all my projects, and using I got few questions I cannot find the answers... - Can I change the zip archive name in the check-in page? - Can I change the directory name inside the zip archive? - It is possible to change a typo in a commit message in autosync mode? (without dumping the fossil database, changing the dump, remaking it) Thanks, Paolo ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Right click on the ZIP archive link, select Save link as - Can I change the directory name inside the zip archive? You'd have to modify the fossil source to do that, or do some trickery with the zipfile afterwards, but you would lose information (i.e. the identity of the check-in the zip file represents). - It is possible to change a typo in a commit message in autosync mode? (without dumping the fossil database, changing the dump, remaking it) Yes, in the webinterface (if logged in with sufficient privileges): On that same Check-in page, click the edit link. The modified commit message will override the original text in all output (webinterface and command line). By the way, the original commit message is retained in the repository.

The zip file name is the last part of the url, in /zip/anything-UUID.zip. - Can I change the directory name inside the zip archive? The directory name is the ?name=xxx of the zip archive url. - It is possible to change a typo in a commit message in autosync mode? (without dumping the fossil database, changing the dump, remaking it) Yes sure; go to the checkin edit page, and change it. That will generate a new ticket with the commit message change, and all sync-ed fossil will show the updated checkin message for that checkin. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
[fossil-users] Questions about Fossil.
Hello, I have been using CVS and WinCVS for a while now, and stumbled upon fossil. I find fossil very interesting, and usefull because it provides tickets, events, and a wiki with it, in a standalone single package. Outstanding in my opinion. I have a question regarding fossil and its usage. I was using CVS with modules in the repository. I have many different directories in CVS for example code, projects, notes, etc. Whatever you can think of. And had many different levels of subdirectories. My CVS repository has many projects in it. The CVSROOT is about 250 Meg and counting. Given this picture, how could I do that in fossil effectively. Is it better to provide different repositories for each project, or have all the CVS repository directory structure reside in one repository file in fossil. If that repository file (.fossil file) is a couple hundred megabytes (and it will grow) would that have an impact in the performance, or usage of fossil? Another question would be... Is it possible to selectively check out one directory and its subdirectories (a module) from the repository? Thanks in advance for any information. Kind regards, rd ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

I have many different directories in CVS for example code, projects, notes, etc. Whatever you can think of. And had many different levels of subdirectories. My CVS repository has many projects in it. The CVSROOT is about 250 Meg and counting. A year and half ago, when the 9-year history of SQLlite was imported from CVS into Fossil, the 320MB CVS repository was rendered into a 35MB Fossil repository. Fossil, it seems, does a much better job of compressing. (To be fair, most of the 320MB of CVS were contained in the CVSROOT/history file.) See http://www.fossil-scm.org/doc/trunk/www/stats.wiki for additional information. Given this picture, how could I do that in fossil effectively. Is it better to provide different repositories for each project, or have all the CVS repository directory structure reside in one repository file in fossil. If that repository file (.fossil file) is a couple hundred megabytes (and it will grow) would that have an impact in the performance, or usage of fossil? I would put each independent project in a separate repository. Another question would be... Is it possible to selectively check out one directory and its subdirectories (a module) from the repository? Fossil does not have the concept of a module or a partial tree check-out. You have to check out the entire tree or none at all. This is true of all DVCSes, as far as I am aware. Thanks in advance for any information.
