The latest version of Fossil (in the self-hosting Fossil repository - not
the precompiled binaries which are a little too old) supports a new method
of pushing, pulling, cloning, and syncing using SSH. Examples:
fossil clone ssh://[email protected]/local/path/repo.fossilex1.fossil
fossil clone
ssh://[email protected]//full/path/name/repo.fossilex2.fossil
Notice that with a single / between the hostname and the beginning of the
repository path, the repository path is relative to the home directory of
the user. With two // characters, the pathname to the repository is an
absolute pathname.
This new feature currently only works on unix. As part of the
implementation, I needed a bidirectional popen() function. (The standard
library popen() only works in one direction.) I implemented this for unix
in the popen.c source file. But I do not know how to do the same on
windows. If someone cares to contribute ideas on how to implement a
bidirection popen() for windows, that will help me get the new ssh://
functionality working on windows.
On the other hand, no many windows machines that I have seen support ssh.
So maybe the ssh:// method is not useful there. What do you think, gentle
readers?
