The purpose of Fossil is to remember, not to forget. The shunning mechanism is added as an emergency escape mechanism to deal with wiki or ticket spam or to remove unauthorized content. Shunning was never intended to remove files that you just don't care about any more. Use "fossil rm" to stop version those files instead. If you try to use shunning to remove obsolete files, you run a significant risk of corrupting your repository. So, just don't do it. It goes against everything that Fossil stands for. > > Thank you. > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > -- D.
