Forgoing the sordid tale of why I had to do this, to commit changes from a laptop, I had to copy my fossil project directories over to another computer with functioning internet connectivity. Once there, I tried a "fossil commit" only to be hit with a manifest file is malformed error. Some searching yielded some talk on the list about some mysteries about the error in the past.
In my case the problem was apparently that fossil was storing absolute file names, which were now different. So even though I didn't rename any of my project files, fossil was afraid that it had lost track of a rename or something to that effect. The solution was to mangle directory names around until the project was using the same absolute file names that existed on the laptop. Hey at least it's not like the time I opened the gates of hell with a similar stunt involving linux -> windows raw directory copies with svn. -- www.thomasstover.com _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
