Howdy, folks,

I'm pretty new to fossil (less than a month), but I'm a veteran of other SCM systems, and I've quickly gotten Fossil pretty well tuned in to the way I want to work. So I tried using the configuration export and configuration import commands to make a "template" configuration. It worked just fine when I did it on Linux, including all of my customizations.

However, I normally work in a cloned and autosynced copy of that repository. The clone lives on Windows XP. When I export the configuration from the clone on XP, the output file does not have any of my customizations, and only one user.

I'm using the version 1.25 binaries posted to fossil-scm.org a few days ago. I created the repository with the 1.24 binaries from last October, also downloaded from fossil-scm.org.

Does this sound like a bug, or like I'm doing something wrong? It seems pretty difficult to mess up "fossil open REPOS", "fossil conf export all FILE", but I've messed up simpler stuff before.

I'd also like to suggest that the configuration export/import process not bring over the password hashes of users. I'd suggest that export not emit the pw hashes at all, and that import ignore them if present. Import would create a default password for any new users, and display it, like it does for the new and init commands. Passwords for existing users would be left alone. If I can get some time, I'll poke around in the source and see if I can come up with a patch.
