Does anyone know how to unveil the secret of getting the mentioned
asterisk into the crlf-glob setting without consulting the web interface?
This seems to be a windows shell thing. On unix, you would just put
the * inside single-quotes: '*' - but that appears not to work on
windows. I don't know the solution.
A hint: You can run
fossil test-echo *
to see what the command-line gets expanded to by the shell. I haven't
(yet) found a variation on this that does not expand the *.
Anybody else?
Try "^*":
C:...>fossil test-echo "^*"
g.nameOfExe = [C:\Programs\Bin\fossil.exe]
argv[0] = [fossil]
argv[1] = [test-echo]
argv[2] = [^*]
C:...>
The caret is supposed to be CMD.EXE's quote character analogous to
/bin/sh's use of \, and I thought it worked anywhere and not just inside
double quotes. But a bare ^* did not do what I expected at a CMD prompt.
The other trick for settings like crlf-glob is to use versionable
settings for them. Then you get to edit a file rather than fighting with
strange shell quoting rules. Just create the file
.fossil-settings\crlf-glob in the root of your repository's workspace
and put a single line in it containing the asterisk. Add the file and
check it in and all should be well.
