Ah, I expected that to be a description of the checkins that *contributed* to those contents of the file.
So, I understand it lists the open 'leaves' containing that file. Am I right? Sorry for the confusion. I was looking for a history of the file (regarding ancestors).

So, to use the fossil-scm repository, I can go to Files, the "Makefile", click the top trunk check-in: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/68fa646f49 There, if I want the history of "Makefile", I click in the modifications 'Makefile': http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/finfo?name=Makefile But that shows a list of ckeckins by date without considering "ancestry since 68fa646f49". Now there is no way of getting a history considering only the ancestry, so I have to look at the arrows and follow the ancestry myself. Am I right? Thank you very much, Lluís. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
