Yeah, I'm using windows. But I've seen this behavior on both cmd.exe and mintty on MSYS. I tried out plain sh on MSYS, but it doesn't expand either. If it's the shell's responsibility to expand the wildcard, then that explains the problem. It's weird, though, that fossil add does support glob patterns if it's expected that the shell will do the pattern lifting lifting. > Also, and this may or may not apply to you, but in many cases when I've > observed people needing to constantly commit subsets of files it came down > to not using branches to separate threads of development. Well, when flying solo, branching is overkill. I just want to commit something with a different comment because I added a TODO or a minor rename. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
