Tested on Windows 7, works just the way my project needs it to work. The manifest.symlinks file is created when the "l" flag is present in the manifest setting. On Windows (not Unix), its contents determine what files are and are not considered to be symlinks. Editing the file influences the changes, status, and commit commands. I'd like to merge enhanced-symlink to trunk, but honestly I am afraid to just do so even though it passes all my tests because there's been zero mailing list discussion, aside from talking about Windows symlink functionality present on other branches which were themselves never merged to trunk. I still do not know my original change was moved off trunk. It didn't break compatibility, and it did provide a significant part of the needed functionality: listing symlinks in a way I can see them in Windows, short of parsing the manifest (another question I asked about that never got any replies on the mailing list). I asked for clarification for my code being moved off trunk but never got any. Now I see my most recent trunk check-in has also been moved off trunk, despite also not being a compatibility issue, with no explanation to either mailing list, my private email, or the check-in comment. I'm talking about http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/eb4dda482056b1db. Was there some policy change about committing to trunk that I missed out on? Before I spend any more time working on Fossil I need to know that I'm not doing something unwelcome. -- Andy Goth | <andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com>
