In every case that I recall there were commits stored in the fossil db that were more recent than the current checkout but fossil update seemed not to see them. If it happens again I'll try to preserve things to reproduce it. What is the update algorithm using for a deciding basis, node time or parent-child relationship? One thing that may be related is that if there is a fork and you do an update fossil does not move to the latest node on the appropriate tine of the fork. This is both silent - i.e. the user has no feedback and must look at the node id and timeline to figure out what is going on, and a hassle because to merge the fork you need to use checkout to get to the tip of the tine. In brief it seems that fossil is not moving along the timeline on update in some cases where it could and this might be the logic that is being triggered by the rare "fails to update" bug. > -- > ----- stephan beal > http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ > http://gplus.to/sgbeal > "Freedom is sloppy.
