[fossil-users] Weird behavior on Chisel, perhaps a version mismatch?

2017-11-27 Thread Jacob MacDonald
I'm using 2.4 locally, Chisel says it's using 2.1. If I change a file in a repository the changes go out properly but adding files to another repository doesn't work. The push or sync seems to succeed, but the Chisel web UI does not reflect the change and on clone I get a "manifest checksum does no

I would like yesterdays with a bit of whitespace between commit comments. Also someone liked the original because the checkin tag was in a predictable place. If you put the tag last in the extra information it would be predictably at the right margin. On 27 November 2017 at 21:01, Richard Hipp

Re: [fossil-users] Repository size - Fossil v. Git

2017-11-27 Thread David Mason
Does it stay that size with moderate activity, or does it start growing significantly? Does the pack format slow it down, or speed it up? Given that the Git version only has 93% of what the Fossil repo has, I'd say Fossil is doing quite well. ../Dave On 27 November 2017 at 16:16, Joerg Sonnenber

Nice work. Have you considered dropping the borders on the commits?  They do add definition to the commit, but at the expense of repetition and possibly “noise” when the branch isn’t colored Screenshot at https://www.dropbox.com/s/o4sa29q8i0dv7r3/timeline.png?dl=0 —Steve On 28 Nov 2017, 7:02

I use symlinks *very* heavily. Almost exactly 10% of the files in my main fossil hierarchy are actually symlinks. Fossil not supporting them would be a huge drawback for me. Good support for symlinks and nested repositories are 2 of the details I like best about Fossil (in addition to the obvious f
