hg has a concept of the changeset with uuid 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. This is the empty changeset, and is equivalent to the parent of the very first checkin. Checking out this changeset will give you an empty repository; checking in with this as the parent will give you a new tree, not connected to the old one.
I find myself needing to do this in Fossil: both as something I can check out to remove all files from the working directory, and something I can use as a parent so I can create multiple revision trees. AFAIK there's nothing in the Fossil architecture to forbid it --- is there any way I can do this? -- ┌─── dg@cowlark.com ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "There does not now, nor will there ever, exist a programming │ language in which it is the least bit hard to write bad programs." --- │ Flon's Axiom
