to be more specific, just in case ... my repo contains the following file:
docs/public/README.md
i would like this to be the page that is displayed when someone visits the
repository via web browser, to act as the front page for the project, just
as it works for:
http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki
basically i want a non-public reposotiry with a public front page.
i have the following set for index-page:
/doc/tip/docs/public/README.md
i have the following set for public-pages:
/doc/tip/docs/public/*
when i visit the page without being logged in, and with default capabilities
for both anonymous and nobody, i see the page. however, without being logged
in even as anonymous i am also able to peruse other files and such. changing
capabilities of anonymous/nobody so far has not enabled me to see the front
page without being logged in, while removing access to the other files.
is what i'm attempting to do even possible? is my problem with using a
format of markdown instead of using the baked-in wiki?
clues would be appreciated here.
