Re: [fossil-users] Cannot determine user when using -A
Fossil certainly will spawn external programs if you: 1) start a commit w/o a command-line commit message 2) run a did with an external diff-command configured. , maybe others.

I had been thinking about hooks and discussion of multi platform support issues. I had forgotten about invoking an external editor or diff tool. (I had not forgotten about Fossil forking copies of itself. I just wasn't counting those as external tool invocations.) ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

However... export FOSSIL_USER=philip_bennefall should do the trick without endangering any other apps. I didn't know about that one. Whether reassigning USER is dangerous or not depends I think on how one works. I generally work under X and would typically call up another terminal window for my fossil session. Since doing a one-time assignment of USER is transitory (as long as one doesn't add the assignment to something like .profile or .cshrc), and is only needed for the initial repository setup, there's really no danger. (But, of course, that depends on how I work - as they say, YMMV.) -- Will ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
