(1) I'm working on a "Fossil for Dummies" document. I would hope
this would be useful to the group as it could be passed to a new user
to get them started. It tries to answer the questions of someone just
starting out in Fossil. The work can be found at:
http://pandora.dyn-o-saur.com:8080/cgi-bin/Book.cgi/index You can
download the PDF.
It is NOT done, I wanted to let the group comment on it to see if I
was going in the right direction. Also I set is up as a creative
commons document and am open to other authors.
(2) While working on the document, the chapter on multiple users
brought up some questions. This document repository is a very
degenerate case since there is really only one file in work. With
multiple users they are going to be editing the same file at the same
time. This gets into the merging, branching complications of Fossil.
I show a way of handling it here, and while it works is there a better
way ? With a larger repository (i.e. more files) this might be less
of problem since different users work on different files. Should you
for example, do a fossil update while you are working to ensure you
are up to date.
Oh yes on fossil update, when you run it with the -n option it does
not access the network repository but only the local one. So running
fossil update and fossil update -n give different results if the
master has been updated.
