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
