Well, yeah--but I was trying to say it was a bad idea, not present a NPOV :-) I thought you were using a network share of a single working copy so different users could collaborate on the code instead of each of them checking out his or her own copy--I'd still call that crazy (in the sense of being quite outside the intended use and apparently negating many of the benefits of a SCM system) and not recommended. But a single user accessing the same revision-controlled files from multiple machines just seems like something I wouldn't personally do, not something crazy--not that you need my mental health evaluation for anything. If permissions still check out on the relevant files and directories after they're copied or mounted on another system, I wonder if it's a matter of paths? If the repo file isn't mounted in the exact same path on each machine, I wouldn't expect the working copy to continue working when you switch between. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
