Already discussed at length on the list (http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg04665.html). IIRC, there was a subtle bug that caused a "fossil update" to update to an empty branch - which then removed most of his files (bug fixed during this discussion). At this point, none of his work was lost. However, he then panicked (not unreasonable) and in trying to get things fixed managed to do things that did lose work. I don't think enough information was ever posted to decide if fossil actually lost work, or if he just managed to destroy it while trying to recover from the checkout of nothing. <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
