Doesn't working on a branch marked private and merging it later (upon approval) essentially provide the benefits of "squashing" the commits? The only difference would be the branch commits themselves will not be visible on the upstream repository upon merging. Only the merge commit will be seen. Admittedly, changes made that way will be harder to review, though. Probably better to not use private branches for that situation.

[fossil-users] Locating the repo file for any given working directory
Hello, The current way I've been using to get the location of the current working directory's '.fossil' file is to open the _FOSSIL_ file inside the directory with the sqlite3 CLI app and run the following query: sqlite select * from vvar where name = 'repository'; repository|../../fsl.fossil Is there a better way to get this information through the CLI commands already available? An absolute path would be preferred (similar to the one given by 'fossil all ls'), but if not, it's fine. Currently using version 1.33 [b9447b0ec6] 2015-07-08 17:16:55 UTC, if it helps.

Here's something that you get for free with Fossil's model that you can't
get with Hg or Git (as far as I know): the ability to look at historic
versions on particular branches as of some point in time using the
branchname:datetime construct. So, for example, the current Fossil
homepage can be seen at:
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/index.wiki
The tip in that URL is a magic tag that means the most recent check-in.
What did the homepage look like on the head of the trunk branch at the
beginning of 2012?
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk:2012-01-01/www/index.wiki
Similarly, if you wanted to checkout the branch experimental as it
existed on some historical date, you could type:
fossil co experimental:2011-06-04
I personally use that capability all the time when trying to find the
initial bounds on a bug in order to begin a bisect, or when doing things
like comparing performance of SQLite to one or five years ago. Question:
Is anything like this even possible in Git and/or Hg?
Mercurial supports a history querying feature they call revsets, or
revision sets. I don't often use it, but people on the Hg mailing list
have provided useful suggestions when users ask how to get some specific
changeset(s) data for reports.
From what I've seen, it's usable even on the search box available in
Mercurial's web interface (hg serve).
http://www.selenic.com/hg/help/revsets
Here's an admittedly simple example:
$ hg log -r branch(default) and date('2014-04-07') and
file('mercurial/merge.py')
changeset: 21082:0d67fccc0d43

IIRC, there are options available in Git's git log command that will
allow querying like this as well (at least from what I've read briefly
in Git's HTML docs), but I'm no Git power user, either.

Google V8 is nice but (A) huge, (B) C++, and (C) they recently made drastic API changes which invalidated every single v8-using client out there (breaking 4-5 years of accumulated code of mine, and i'll never have the time to fix it), which means that very few people outside of Google can actually use v8 at the moment. JS _would_ also be my first choice, if we only had a small, well-maintained interpreter.i don't know TCL, but the TCL and Fossil communities seem to be cosmically bound to one another. There are relatively few well-established small/embeddable interpreters. Lua, TCL, ... none others come to mind (which are small). Would using something similar to Vim's mechanism (allowing Fossil to be compiled with Lua/Ruby/MZScheme/Python/etc. support) be more acceptable?

Re: [fossil-users] re-thinking commit access to the main fossil repo...
Can I encourage you to work on such a feature? (In a private clone of the repository ;-)) Perhaps use the import and export commands as a baseline. Maybe an option to the export command that only exports a particular range of check-ins or a particular branch, and options to import the force all imported content to be in a particular branch, or that make all the changes imported private (none-syncing) until audited and approved in some way. May I suggest using the term convert for converting to and from the Fossil repo format, and use import/export for that particular purpose instead (getting changesets, etc.)?

This one worked as it should after I uploaded it to the server and replaced what I made. I'm guessing it's the Linux distro? The one I compiled was working within Xubuntu itself (I was able to clone Fossil itself), it just wouldn't work after I uploaded it to the server. Both the repo and its directory's permissions were at 766, and Fossil itself and its own directory were at 755. In any case, I'm keeping a copy of this if anyone requests something like it again. Thanks a lot! --Arnel ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
[fossil-users] Copy of Linux version of GPL Fossil
