How about always calling new files .fossil (and accepting existing other names), *and* setting the hidden flag on Windows? Then the documentation is the same for both: a hidden file called .fossil... ------Original Message------ From: Steve Havelka Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [fossil-users] _FOSSIL_ vs. .fos Was: New features for, merging Sent: 13 Aug 2011 14:39
