Hi all,
Before I get to the problem I noticed, a little ‘complaint’: I find the fact
that many commands work on all branches by default (and without possibility of
overriding that default) problematic. If I’m inside a certain branch then I
logically (most of the time, at least) only care to see things related to that
branch because at that moment I don’t care what’s going on any other branches.
Although an option (for all commands) to allow me to run it against the whole
tree would be great when I need a fuller picture. But, looking at the whole
tree at all time is counter productive (and sometimes even confusing/misleading
if you’re not careful enough to notice the branch tag, for example with FOSSIL
TIMELINE command), in my opinion.
Anyway, now to the specific problem with FIND:
I have a file xxx that appears in several branches. If I’m on the ‘trunk’
branch for example, and type FOSSIL FIND xxx I will get a list of all changes
for xxx in all branches (not just trunk). Now, I have another branch where the
file xxx is deleted. From that branch, FOSSIL FIND xxx no longer shows any
history from the xxx file. Why is it that from a branch that xxx exists I can
see xxx in any other branch but from a branch where xxx is missing I cannot see
the xxx’s in the other branches? It should be either I can see it in all
branches at all times, or on my current branch at all times.
Is this a bug, or am I not using the system correctly?
Thanks.
