"fossil server" command is only needed to start server for web access to your repo. To execute CLI command on a repository, you need open a checkout or most of command take argument: -R reponame.fossil If you type: fossil help branch you can read: Run various subcommands to manage branches of the _open_ repository or of the repository identified by the -R or --repository option. -- Martin G. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
