All, I am in the process of moving from git to fossil.
My question is about how many repositories to use for a particular project. A summary of my use case: - Single developer, but, may from time to time (once a year) have someone else I work with want to contribute. And those contribs are usually small. - I alter the code for my projects on different computers (workstation at the office, laptop on the road, etc...). - I use DropBox as a data store. - Mostly I develop on Windows, but, target Windows and Linux (and now and then OSX). After reading the docs and Jim's book, I setup like this: + Main repo on DropBox: c:\> cd DropBox\fossil-repos c:\DropBox\fossil-repos\> fossil new my-project.fossil + Clone the repo in DropBox to my local workstation, laptop, etc, so on each, I do this: c:\> cd fossil-repo-clones c:\fossil-repo-clones\> fossil clone \DropBox\fossil-repos\my-project.fossil my-project.fossil + Open the local clone in a dedicated development directory and commit the initial files (intial file commit done once, on the system where the code base starts): c:\> cd dev-projects\my-project c:\dev-projects\my-project\> fossil open \fossil-repo-clones\my-project.fossil c:\dev-projects\my-project\> fossil add . <output here...> c:\dev-projects\my-project\> fossil commit -m "Initial commit of files. Starting development." My big question is, am I wasting my time creating the local clones on all my different systems? Should I just the repo in my DropBox and simply open on my various systems? Thanks in advance for looking at my issue and helping.
