Hi,
This weekend I was shouting praises of Fossil to a friend in the
release business and he summarily shot me down with a simple attempt
to add his Subversion based repository.
Fossil failed on filenames containing brackets - []. Huh?

Hi,
I looked at the offending files and the brackets as you may have
guessed contained incremental numerals.
something[1].bin, something[2].bin, etc.
Given the filenames are accepted by the O/S, wouldn't it be more
prudent to optionally allow these and other wildcards?
I'm no fan of branching
I prefer an automated approach. (assuming the batch file is simpler
than sending data to the ui)

Seems logical to me that would be an option in fossil also.
Unless text vs binary file assignments are super difficult?
While I prefer to seek the root of a problem, I cannot guarantee
syntax highlighting of source code.
Yes, I definitely have mixes of meaningful and non-meaningful [white
space, case sensitive, empty lines] diffs to review.
While I would love to 'one-tool it' with fossil's diff tech, I find it
way easier to pop into winmerge and all its ignore goodies.
Maybe I'm too optimistic to expect that much

Can the comment character be user selectable at this late stage?
I would prefer comments lead with ! or ' or ; or // or /* or
Yeah, I only asked for a user defined comment character since I thought it
too bold to request it be changed outright. '#' is really too useful to me
to be relegated to comments :(
So many other useless characters to choose from?

I also take exception to this being only a recent phenomena. I have been
burned several times now, but as you say, this is not a mission critical
error.
However, me and my users cherish the timeline view and are confused by
random omissions of '#'this or '#'that. So I do not feel the comments are
For those who don't know about it: fossil supports a -M (big emm) option
which reads the commit message from a file and doesn't not apply any
#-related special handling to the content (or it didn't at the time it was
implemented, and i'm assuming that hasn't changed)

Thanks!
Haha, I'll make every effort to be around when 2 digit years are a problem.
Consider it designed in persistence vs obsolescence. :)

Never knew that couldn't be redirected with pipe?

I am curious what is stored in the repo for each new commit that includes a
tiny change to a binary file.
Whether a dll or an image file, is fossil storing each binary file
compressed, uncompressed or some sort of delta?
Over time(6mo's to 1yr), I would like to reduce my repo size by purging
Ah, is there a way to quantify the binary delta?
If I have a 1MB binary file and commit a 1 byte change, what is the size of
the computed binary delta?
You are correct of course, but I tend not to extend the spirit of fossil to
binary files and images. It is their existence and not legacy that is
Thanks. I didn't know how binary was handled given the Timeline diff
response = cannot compute difference between binary files.
I think it would be cool if instead fossil listed some of the metrics used
or determined in the binary delta operation.
Thanks for Fossil!

Really, I am only implying some minimal file statistic like 'DeltaSize(%)'
or somesuch to show the user it is in fact compared internally. The current
message contradicts what is in fact happening. Maybe change that message to
Cannot visually display binary diffs. DeltaSize(%) = -10.

Took time to reply, cause I had to clean the coffee I spit up!
A released application should be considered stable and a conservative view
would say its libs should not contain alphas or betas.
The ease of compiling a bleeding edge Fossil.exe is already in place for

A while back when considering Fossil, I read that 'any' database could have
been chosen in its design. This thread seems to contradict Fossil's
published design theme?

Well said and yes, Fossil is a non-tedious, benevolent lifesaver. My
reservation being scalability of large repo support. While I am unaffected,
those professionals charged with release and maintenance of large code
bases look past Fossil and its SQLite core.

It does not help with redundant binary images in the repo.
For that, you have to shun and rebuild.
If you could flag a file as Keep latest only, that would be less
painless. I don't mind the artifact
(2) Fossil's purpose is to be able to recreate historical versions of the
project - exactly. It cannot do that if historical images have been
deleted.
I understand the purity intended, but continue to be frustrated by it. :) I
merely seek an automated way within Fossil to manage garbage.
