I’ve prototyped this as a simple shell script:
#!/bin/sh -e
url=$1
shift
tmprepo=`mktemp .fslrepo-XXXXXXXXXX`
rm $tmprepo
fossil clone "$url" $tmprepo
name=`fossil sql -R "$tmprepo" \
"select value from config where name='short-project-name' \
or name='project-name' and value != '' limit 1"`
if [ -z "$name" ] ; then echo "No project name in $tmprepo!" ; exit 1 ; fi
if [ -d "$name" ] ; then echo "Already checked out as $name!" ; exit 1 ; fi
if [ -e "$name" ] ; then echo "$name in the way; aborting!" ; exit 1 ; fi
mkdir "$name"
cd "$name"
mv ../"$tmprepo" .fslrepo
fossil open .fslrepo "$@"
This is not useful as-is, since the whole point of this feature is that
clone-and-open should be a single step with no other messing about by the user.
What it proves, however, is that Fossil has everything needed to do this
today. The existing pieces just need to be rearranged to allow it.
