There have been a lot of changes to the Fossil sources over the past week. If you are able, please compile the latest Fossil from sources and give it a try. Let me know if you encounter any problems.
Note: Trying a "beta" of Fossil is not nearly as risky as it sounds. You are very unlikely to lose archived work. (See http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/selfcheck.wiki for an explanation of why not.) About the worst that is going to happen with these changes is that an execute-permission bit might get misapplied on an "update" or "revert". The two changes that need testing are: (1) The ability to sync private branches. See http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/private.wiki for additional information. (2) The fix to the execute-permission tracking problem of ticket http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/private.wiki Note that when upgrading, the execute-permission bit information in your local check-out (your _FOSSIL_ file) might not be quite right. It is recommended that you do: fossil checkout current >From existing local checkouts in order to make sure that all the local information is up-to-date. If you fail to do this, some execute permission bits might get turned off by mistake, but nothing worse than that should happen. Please report both success and failure. I'm trying to get to the point were we can do another precompiled-binary release in about a week or so. Thanks for your hep. -- D. Richard Hipp [email protected]
