Namely, if someone accidentally deletes or moves a tag how do we get back where it *should* have been. I didn't see that the canceled tag was referenced as such on the check-in page. Having mention of the tag changes on the timeline would make it visible and easy to track down what happened. It looks like by viewing each check-in in the history we can manually extract this information if necessary. > > _______________________________________________ >> fossil-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users >> >> > > > -- > D.
