It's all good. Since many of us are familiar with git, too, it's a very reasonable way to proceed. > The grep command is a really great deal for us because: > * is more flexible than Ack (considering searching on .wiki, README and any > other file that is not code) You probably know that ack can optionally search all file types or configurable file types. You might also try writing yourself a one-line shell script that makes use of `fossil ls` (to list all files in the project) and one of the text search tools for more control. If the large binaries aren't checked in, then this will automatically avoid searching those. If they are, you'll probably want to filter the list with grep before searching. I believe there has been talk of adding search to fossil, but I don't know about progress on that if any. > I think is interesting to know how to rollback a commit.

Of course in fossil you can still just add a commit reversing the changes, but another option is to make the mistaken commit the start of a new branch named 'oops' or 'mistake' and immediately close that branch. The record of the error still exists, but the branch timeline is a clearer reference on the actual progress of the code. (To do this, run `fossil ui`, go to the timeline, click on the mistaken commit, click on 'Edit' by 'Other Links:", and use the checkbox and textbox by "Branching" to move the commit to a new branch. You'll want to mark the Leaf Closure checkbox as well.) > Also, What we couldn't find out is how to delete a branch (or at least close > it) Branches cannot be deleted (nor can much of anything be completely deleted in fossil!), but to close the branch, use the Leaf Closure checkbox on the details page of the latest commit in the branch. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
