This is the same in Bitbucket. I use the version compare feature in the timeline in Fossil *a lot*; I'd almost be willing to stretch to say "literally daily", but I'm sure there's been a day when I haven't used it -- but you get the point. When I helped install a development environment based on the Atlassian products a while ago I was quite shocked that Bitbucket didn't support the feature. Considering how useful it is, I had never occurred to me that a modern UI _wouldn't_ have it. Anyway, I searched around to see if it was available in an alpha version or something somewhere, and quickly realized others wanted the feature as well. However, no good news on that front: The idea was apparently "No, you use tool X for that.". (As it happens, this tool X was a desktop application for the local checkout, which - in my mind - kind of defeated the purpose). Maybe this is tangentially related to the cathedral vs bazaar discussion; with Fossil, you typically have a central point where "all" the useful checkins end up. -- Kind regards, Jan Danielsson _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
