Hi fossil users,
I have the following situation, that seems to be related to
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03555.html,
but that one doesn't quite seem to work for me. I have am new to fossil, as
I've been using git previously, but like the integration of bugs / wiki /
etc. On git, I can have the working directory (where the files reside) be
separate from the git repository.
My development machine is a Win7 x64 machine. The website application I
develop for I have access to via a webdav connection that is visible as a
mounted drive in explorer. I use cygwin for access to many linux tasks etc.,
and I use a terminal through which I do my fossil work.
So, to the crux of the matter. I set up a new fossil repository (in
~/fossil/) using "fossil new site.fossil". I then cd to my mounted drive (cd
/cygdrive/c/htdocs/) and then try to open a local fossil repository via
"fossil open ~/fossil/site.fossil" The result is the following error:
fossil: SQLITE_ERROR: no such table: vvar
> fossil: no such table: vvar
> REPLACE INTO vvar(name,value)
> VALUES('repository','/cygdrive/c/Users/tkott/fossil/site.fossil')
>
> If you have recently updated your fossil executable, you might

> schemas up to date.

This is odd, since I just downloaded and built the fossil executible, and it
is a new repository. If I try the command again, I get:
fossil: SQLITE_ERROR: table vvar already exists
> fossil: table vvar already exists
>
> If you have recently updated your fossil executable, you might
> need to run "fossil all rebuild" to bring the repository
> schemas up to date.
Both of these actions create __FOSSIL__, but nothing else happens. If I try
any fossil command, I get "fossil: not within an open checkout".
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple and not giving enough info, but
does anyone have any hints?
I essentially want to set up a dev environment in which I have two branches,
say "trunk" and "dev" so that I can push changes and roll back when
necessary.
Thanks,
Tomek
