I cannot tell exactly what is happening, but vvar is a table that should be in the _FOSSIL_ database file. Somehow that table is not being created or is not being recognized after it is created or something. I'll bet your network filesystem is somehow to blame. At least, network filesystems are often the culprit when these kinds of things come up. But not having access to your system or an environment similar to yours, I have no way to debug it. Background information on the three SQLite database files used by Fossil can be seen here: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/tech_overview.wiki The _FOSSIL_ file is the "checkout database" which is created by the "fossil open" command. > > 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 > > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > > -- D.
