Hi all - I've got a lot of fossil repositories, and for backup purposes I encrypt and upload them to "cloud storage".
The backup process runs every night, but I don't want to upload repos
which haven't changed. My initial thought was that I could just do an
sha1 hash of the repo. But it turns out that just doing the "fossil
upd" to refresh the repo changes its sha1 hash. Not helpful.
So I tried to find a way to discern whether or not a repo was *really*
different, and I hit upon the following. I think it would be nice if
there were an easier way.
Here is my "fossilid" script, which gives a single sha1 hash for the
repo. Note that it checks both the "config" as well as the "timeline"
for changes:
if [ ! -f "$1" ]
then
echo "fossilid needs the name of the repository to 'id'"
exit 1
fi
configsha=`fossil config export all -R $1 - | grep -v '^#'`
logsha=`fossil timeline -n 10 -R $1`
echo "$configsha $logsha"| fossil sha - | cut -d' ' -f1
