On my previous email I said I was looking for a feature in the help. While being at it, I found out these two details that I want to report. But first, I want to say something about the help/documentation. One of the things I LOVE about fossil is the simplicity. No weird, ultra-hidden cryptic comm

T ​his is a thing I normally go through, and I believe is a silly question, but I've read the entire help once again looking for it, and didn't find it. Sometimes I do things like:​ $fossil update d04e UPDATE test.txt ---

[fossil-users] Reporting symlink changes

2015-05-07 Thread Andy Goth
When a symlink turns into an ordinary file, the Fossil change listing says "execute permission cleared". When a symlink is replaced with a file that's also executable, Fossil says "execute permission set". When a file becomes a symlink, nothing is said at all. Fossil ought to report symlink chan

[fossil-users] [fossil changes] and execute/symlink flag changes

2015-05-07 Thread Andy Goth
I propose extending [fossil changes] to report when a file's execute bit has changed or it has become a symlink or ceased to be a symlink. For various annoying reasons, many times I've unwittingly checked in a bunch of execute or symlink brokenness, sometimes not discovering it until much later.

[fossil-users] Split wiki, tickets, and commits?

2015-05-07 Thread Alaric Snell-Pym
For various reasons, I'd like to split the wiki out of a repo I have into a fresh new repo of its own. I'm guessing I can do something like a fossil deconstruct, delete anything that's not a wiki-change artifact, and then reconstruct the result. 1) Would that work? 2) How do I reliably tell what
