When I am assembling a new software release, I assemble a ChangeLog from
the checkin comments since the last release. Prior to moving to Fossil,
I used "svn log -r12345:HEAD" for this. That lists the checkin comments
from r12345 to the current version, only for files in the current
directory and below, and only on the current branch.
The closest I've come to that so far with Fossil is:
$ fossil timeline after 462b6b3bc5 -n 0
The artifact ID is that of the last checkin on this branch before the
ChangeLog was updated for the *previous* release. So, this tells me
what happened between that release and "now".
The problem is, it includes all changes in the repository, not just
those for the current branch. Ideally, I'd want to restrict it to the
current subtree, too, as svn does.
I notice that the Branches tab of fossil ui is able to get a timeline
for a specific branch, somehow. I want to get it from the command line
because I actually do this from within vi:
:r !fossil timeline ... etc
That is, the output of fossil timeline gets put into the editor at the
current position. This turns the ChangeLog assembly task into an
editing task, rather than a transcription task.
