I erroneously interpreted the CLI-help ("Display absolute pathnames") as:
"show the complete path of the changed file as recorded by the Filesystem".Thanks! -------------------------------------------- Martin Gagnon <[email protected]> schrieb am Sa, 8.3.2014: Betreff: Re: [fossil-users] option "--abs-path" on fossil extras/changes doesn't work An: [email protected], "Fossil SCM user's discussion" <[email protected]> Datum: Samstag, 8.

Since you always execute your command from the root of the checkout, relative or absolute is equivalent. To see a difference you should try to work from a subdirectory inside the checkout. d:\test>cd somedir d:\test\somedir>fossil extra --abs-paths test1.txt test2.txt d:\test\somedir>fossil extra --rel-paths ..\test1.txt ..\test2.txt -- Martin G. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
