[fossil-users] Fw: How about renaming a fork to "fork-*"? (Was: Two trunks?)

2015-04-17 Thread Steve Stefanovich
Ah, wonders of fiddling with email on mobile... (BTW, it did go on the list, but just the quote without my reply). ‎What I meant to say here is that the whole confusion about forks is due to the fact that they branch out under the same tag. I can't see the case where is this ever desirable.

Thank you but I wanted this for a Win7 machine, not Linux. (I have MINGW installed but its 'patch' is a bit unstable as it crashes most of the time besides not being available on most Win7 machines.) That's why I was hoping fossil would be able to eat its own ... diff Bundle is not good when t

This is on a Win7 machine (if it matters). A simple way to reproduce (f = fossil): f new xxx.fossil f o xxx.fossil mkdir a\a dir > a\a\xxx f add a f com -m "Initial" f mv a\a b f close Based on help screen, and usual behavior of mv, I would expect subdirectory a\a to be now known as b, and of
