Yes, it would indeed be nice if “standalone” bundles truly were standalone, this whole thread notwithstanding. It’s a misleading option name as it stands. That by itself wouldn’t suffice to provide my wished-for repo sharding feature, since bundles currently don’t have a way to include artifacts based on a file path pattern, but that should be a straightforward extension, since Fossil stores file artifacts based on their full path. > So we'd need a file glob in args here Both glob and regex patterns are helpful, each in different cases. Classic Unix tools that support both usually accept glob patterns by default, then accept a -r, -R, or --regex flag to make it accept REs instead. Obviously we can’t use -R for this with Fossil, but double-dash flags are commonly used in Fossil for such non-default features. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
