Hi, devs,
Below is another list of suggestions which was sent to me off-list. i am
still on medical leave until at least March 12th, but it will likely be
extended because two fingers still keep going offline after brief periods
of typing. Thus i hand this off to the list...

Hi Stephan,
after using Fossil for a while, I have written down some questions and
ideas.
Can you forward them to the people involved or is there a Fossil bugtracker
where I could enter them as feature requests?
Regards,
Holger
Questions and Ideas about FOSSIL ignore-glob
The setting ignore-glob allows go ignore files whose names match certain
glob patterns. Is it possible to ignore certain paths?
In Android project it's necessary to ignore the following (as regexps
relative to the project base directory):
- ^gen$
- ^bin$
- ^\.settings$
- ~$
- ^.~lock
Some of these are directories containing .xml files which on the other hand
have to be versioned when in other directories, for instance below res
Wiki Lists
Currently, only one-level bulleted and numbered lists are supported. What
about more levels like this?
* first level
* first level
* second level
* second level
* first level
* second level
I know there is a workaround using HTML tags, but Wiki syntax is easier.
Auto-Sync for Ticket and Wiki changes
Currently, only code check-ins trigger an auto-sync for the whole
repository. What about switches which allow an auto-sync also for ticket
and wiki changes? Some repositories are used as wikis or as ticket systems
only and contain no code at all. These have to be synchronised manually.
Images
Is there a way of displaying images from the repository in the Wiki?
Wouldn't it be nice to have some special path that refers to the contents
of the repository, so that images that have been placed there can be shown
in Wiki pages?
Synchronising over SSH
For every "round-trip" the credentials of the remote repository are
checked. If no key exchange has been done, the password has to be entered
over and over again.
Can this be changed? It would mean that all "round-trips" have to be done
through a single ssh connection.
Cloning over SSH
After creating a local repository, it would be nice to be able to clone it
to a remote location via SSH. Mercurial and Git can do this, because source
and destination may be local filenames or URLs. In Fossil, the destination
has to be local. As a result it is necessary to copy the repository using
scp (which is not always available on Windows) and later synchronise it
with the local one.
Wiki attachments
Attaching files to a Wiki page works fine. If it is a picture a browser can
display, it can even be included into the page using an img tag.
Other binary attachments can be uploaded, but are not offered again as
download. When clicked, Fossil displays "(file is 11610 bytes of binary
data)", but doesn't offer to download it. All unknown MIME types or file
extensions should be offered as download.
My idea was to upload an .odg file (LibreOffice Draw) as attachment plus
the .png file resulting from an export and include the latter one via img
tag. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to retrieve the .odg file again.
