Eric, I hope that you realize that one size fits all is not a good design principle for a general purpose tool. >> (1) PRV.fossil -- is my private repo where all my dirty laundry is stored > > Do you need a repository for this? A repository is not a backup tool. I never mentioned backup, did I? And yes, I do need my private space for private experimentation. For instance I keep some branches where code does not yet compile. But the branches that I push to TEAM.fossil should pass a "red face test", they should at least compile OK. >> (2) TEAM.fossil -- this is a place shared by the development team. >> Mistakes can be annotated as "mistake" and backed out as you said. > >> (3) PUBLIC.fossil -- is a clean and shiny final result that must be >> devoid of all the crazy stuff from TEAM.fossil and PRV.fossil repos. > > Why do you need (3)? Who are you hiding stuff from? I think a clean branch > is all you need. First and for most, this project is company internal. But some versions are exported outside to our external collaborators. For variety of reasons that are beyond of my control MY.fossil, TEAM.fossil and PUBLIC.fossil have to be separate. As a new fossil user I posted a question to this list on how can I establish cascading work-flow using fossil. I would appreciate if someone could tell me whether it is possible or not. I am looking for a tool that helps me and my team to do the work in my environment. I sincerely hope that fossil was not designed with only one work-flow (SQLite and fossil) in mind. Am I mistaken? --Leo-- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
