As a certified forum junkie…I’ll add my two cents…
While it would be cool to have a forum type of capability built into fossil, I
do think that would end up being a very deep rabbit hole and one of the things
i love about fossil is the simplicity of it. There are other deep solutions
such as

Hey thats

Sounds like “pull” is what I needed to do…which update accomplished for me

I have file:

/foo is the root of the checkout workspace.
the path /foo/totally/new/location/ doesn’t exist
I am getting tired of having to copy and paste the ticket uid into my commit

Merge conflicts are possible ANY time someone else edits a file and commits it
to the trunk while you have been working on a feature branch rather then the
