[fossil-users] 3-way merge likely to happen anytime soon?

I saw a prior thread on this topic but I am not clear on if any action was planned. Not sure yet why but I'm getting a lot more merge conflicts than I did with Monotone. If nothing is being worked on I'll make a perl script helper as fixing merges by editing the files with markers is really tedious

[fossil-users] symlinks to directories are traversed by fossil extras?

2011-03-10 Thread Matt Welland
What is the plan for handling symlinks for fossil? My preference would be for fossil to treat links as a file. Storing the pointer would be great. Just ignoring links would also be fine by me. But actually traversing the links is not a good idea IMHO and is a real fossil killer. It is also not easy

Re: [fossil-users] Work flow with fossil (understanding conflict resolution)

For a very nice (IMHO) model on how to handle forks take a look at monotone. Forking is natural, you just want to take precautions to keep your data safe. A fork is just a branch you haven't given a name to and didn't necessarily intentionally create. In the case of monotone it just lets you know 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
