Here's what I read: Each source tree that is controlled by fossil is associated with a single repository on the local disk drive. You can tie two or more source trees to a single repository if you want (though one tree per repository is the most common configuration.) So a single repository can be associated with many source trees, but each source tree is associated with only one repository. So I thought that might have meant multiple, distinct trees, similar to how one can have branches in Git with independent directory structures but all separate from each other, even if they are stored in the same repository. I'm wondering how difficult/desirable it might be to support a case like the one I mentioned? Maybe you could have a single repository with multiple roots, and do something like: mkdir project_a; cd project_a; fossil open ../myproj.fossil project_a cd ..; mkdir project_b;... Or maybe some means of opening a project's subdirectory such that open with normal parameters would copy out all subdirectories/projects while "open myproj.fossil src" might only extract the src directory, but that may be entirely impractical. Thanks for the quick and detailed response. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyAYQEACgkQIaMjFWMehWKqSACeKKuQ6AfqFT1yYwCURaq5wHIg 3SwAnRZ37vOsS87KMmKmRj2y1NWnrlkg =CBuX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
