When I was just starting with fossil I hadn't grasped the distinction between the repository and a checkout so this error message was confusing to me. I read it as "you can't do this operation within an open checkout", rather than the intended "you are not currently within an open checkout".
I think the message should be amended to something like "current directory is not within an open checkout". _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
