[fossil-users] An "ease of use" issue

2011-05-21 Thread Ron Aaron
I've noticed that if I remove a file from a working-set without informing fossil about it, then fossil fails when I try to commit (other changes in the set). That's fine, but it gives an obscure message: fossil: no such file: somefile fossil: SQLITE_BUSY: statement aborts at 2: [ROLLBACK]

Hi Zed, Please confirm if you really lost local changes. That would be a big concern for me. I haven't lost any non-checked in work and would like to keep it that way. No tool is perfect and if there is a bug in fossil that causes local changes to be inadvertently discarded we'd all like to know

One correction, you do have a "trunk" but fossil is not recognizing it: fossil branch /tmp/mongrel proxymustdie * ws-hybi-7 That looks like a fossil bug to me since "trunk" is not marked as closed as far as I can tell. On Sat, May 21, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Matt Welland wrote: > Y

You have no trunk. I can reproduce what you saw by cloning mongrel, opening it, then doing the update. If you have no trunk you probably want to add the branch you want to your open "fossil open ../mongrel.fossil ws-hybi-7" The fix in fossil would be to have a real branch selected on open if one i
