What is the plan for handling symlinks for fossil? My preference would be for fossil to treat links as a file. Storing the pointer would be great. Just ignoring links would also be fine by me. But actually traversing the links is not a good idea IMHO and is a real fossil killer. It is also not easy to work around.
Links are commonly used to point to large amounts of static data outside of a build area or to reference one piece of data in multiple places. In neither of these cases would I want my scm tool to traverse the links and add the data. A setting "ignore-links" would be an ok compromise. Just my $0.02, thanks! _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
