Google is correct. However, there is _hypothetically_ a way to completely merge 2 repos into one while keeping all commits, but i'm not at all certain if this would work... a) 'fossil deconstruct' 2 repos. b) copy (recursively) the "deconstructed" files from repo 2 over the ones from repo 2. c) 'fossil reconstruct' from that shared set of files. d) i don't think that 'fossil rebuild' is necessary after reconstruct, but it can't hurt. No idea if it would _really_ work, but if it does then (best case) you'll end up with two completely independent trunks which no common ancestor. Worst case, it simply doesn't work. (However, i _think_ it will.) If you try it, be sure to share your results with us. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ "Freedom is sloppy.
