It is not the job of the SCM system to keep in step with my working directory, it is its job to look after what I tell it to look after. My working directories usually contain a fair bit of transient junk that just does not need to be in the repository, but which I know I will need for a while. I can even see that I might want to keep a file no longer considered an official part of the project. In a way I blame git, encouraging people to do anything at all, then clean it up with a rebase (i.e. a lie) before letting it go to remote repositories. Another issue is that an SCM system is _not_ a backup tool, but many people seem to think that it is. And finally (for now :) ), dotfiles are special on *ix, so they should be treated specially.

Not picking on you, Dmitry, just using the first "vote" message to tack this onto. -- ms fnd in a lbry _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
