Some commands sometimes work, most of them doesn't. So for system config. I end up working on a checkout somewhere in a subdir in my home and I have a script which copy file that have changed from '/' to my checkout. ('fossil ls' is useful here) So I always edit files from '/', and after I sync to my checkout dir with the script. I would like very much to work directly where file are used, I might try to start a branch to fix that eventually. -- Martin G. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
