I've made a bisect for on part of the problem. (for the "fossil: file outside of checkout tree" error when doing "fossil diff etc/fstab" on the exemple of my original post.
I found that before this change, it was working: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/fdiff?v1=d5c8419ca0c1887f&v2=04be4540a16f1f31 The other one (calling fossil timeline from a subdir etc in my exemple) was already not working long time before... the oldest version I've try so far is: 4b3425401f847e57991cc980122ac37a8f1d00a3 ( http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/4b3425401f). I will try to bisect it if I found a not too old version which work.. -- Martin On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Martin Gagnon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I try to use fossil on my root (/) file system to track changes on some > system files (e.g.: firewall rules, passwd and group files, openssh > config files etc... > > I know fossil lack of file attribute and permission saving, but I don't > really care, I use it more to have history on files changes.
