Historical note (i don't think you've been on the list long enough to have seen this): here's the summary from some code comments in fossil: /* ** Locate the root directory of the local repository tree. The root ** directory is found by searching for a file named "_FOSSIL_" or ".fslckout" ** that contains a valid repository database. ** ** For legacy, also look for ".fos". The use of ".fos" is deprecated ** since "fos" has negative connotations in Hungarian, we are told. ... A user made us aware at some point that fos is an ugly/inappropriate word in his language (i concur with the code comment that it was Hungarian). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Since tyranny's the only guaranteed byproduct of those who insist on a perfect world, freedom will have to do." -- Bigby Wolf
