Actually I stand corrected. $ fossil diff --new-file --from P1-parent --to P3 | patch -E should add/remove text files automatically. Binary files, on the other hand still pose a problem. > >> P.S.

Now I abandoned Hg completely and am an active GIT user for my heavy lifting projects. I recently discovered fossil and find it very refreshing and intriguing. One thing that I miss in fossil above everything else is inability to push/pull individual branches or/and individual artifacts. This is really big item on my wish list. Current fossil model has only two choices: public branches that are accessible to all, and private branches that are for-your-eyes-only. But I need few branches that I share with my team members but do not leak outside of the company. Fossil provides no mechanism to support such a work-flow. --Leo-- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
