Also (although not an interface change) could mv semantics be made to better match Unix mv on directories? mv dira dirb # renames dira to dirb if dirb does not exist (i.e. does a recursive move on all contents) mv dira dirb # puts dira under dirb if dirb exists I think fossil does not match Unix but am not sure how DOS behaves. > >> >> Sincerely, >> Gour >> >> >> -- >> The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, >> that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man >> of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them. >> >> http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810 >> >> _______________________________________________ >> fossil-users mailing list >> fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org >> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users >> >> > > > -- > D.
