This is a really good point. David, it is already possible to set this up in the way you intend and the students will be able to use the current release of Fossil 1.27 to accomplish it. Because all of the features that you intend to use are really ``server side'' and will be enforced by your SSH key ForceCommand configuration, you can simply put the current trunk on the server and the students can begin using the current Fossil 1.27 to clone. The SSH code in trunk is backwards compatible with previous Fossil versions. When the next release is available, both you and the students can upgrade. You can get familiar with the URL behavior change now by getting accustomed to using -A and default-user already with Fossil 1.27. For example, if the name of the shared SSH account is fossil, there are two possible ways to have them clone: First: fossil clone -A user1 ssh://fossil@server//user1proj.fossil proj.fossil fossil --user user1 user -R proj.fossil default user1 Second: fossil clone ssh://fossil@server//user1proj.fossil proj.fossil fossil user -R proj.fossil new user1 fossil user -R proj.fossil default user1 fossil user -R proj.fossil cap user v I think the first might be the preferred method at the moment. The reason why it is necessary to set the admin user and the default-user is because Fossil now extracts the user out of the URL and uses that as the admin user, which means if you are using a shared SSH account named ``fossil,'' all commits would appear to come from ``fossil'' which isn't likely what you want to show up in the timeline. The rcvfrom table would actually record the actual fossil user that performed the sync, but the artifacts would all show ``fossil.'' Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, let me know.
