Re: [fossil-users] content missing - repository jammed
Hi I'm in the process of learning fossil, and made a repository for an existing project. I used fossil add * to add the files, and the initial commit worked. However, doing fossil open gives the error: fossil: content missing for resources/Thumbs.db fossil rm resources/Thumbs.db gives: fossil: not in the repository: resources/Thumbs.db Shunning and rebuilding the repository has no effect, and fossil doesn't complete the open successfully, so I can't do anything with the repository in it's current state. How can I fix this error? You're going to have to give us additional clues. D. Richard Hipp d...@hwaci.com Thumbs.db is a windows file that holds thumbnail images for display in the file explorer. It is automatically generated by the OS for every folder that has images or any other document type that would have a thumbnail preview. Normally this file has the hidden attribute. Could that be part of the problem? Personally, I don't think that thumbs.db has any business being in a source repository, but fossil add *.* would add it without asking.

Re: [fossil-users] content missing - repository jammed
Yeah, the easy solution is not to add Thumbs.db in the first place, so I might start from scratch with a new repository. I was mainly wondering why rm failed, unless I misunderstood what it's meant to do in the first place. I'd like to get it to a state akin to thumbs.db never having been added at all.

Re: [fossil-users] content missing - repository jammed
I've made a batch script that replicates the issue. It doesnt give the same error message, but it demonstrates the problems opening, and failures in removing, hidden files: echo test data hidden_file.txt echo test data 2 visible_file.txt attrib +h hidden_file.txt fossil new hidden-file-test.fossil fossil open hidden-file-test.fossil fossil add hidden_file.txt fossil add visible_file.txt fossil commit fossil close fossil open hidden-file-test.fossil fossil rm hidden_file.txt fossil close Hopefully this is helpful.

I have not had good luck removing anything permanently from fossil. Maybe I'm missing something, but fossil doesn't like to let go of anything. I wonder if there is a bug with adding hidden files. I don't have time to investigate right now, but if you could create a simple script that reproduces the problem that would be helpful. I think it would be reasonable for fossil not to add hidden files by default and create an option that will add hidden files, e.g. fossil add *.* --add-hidden.
