Is there a difference? Maybe. A check-in is a particular kind of artifact that defines a collection of files that is being checked in as a complete "version" of the program. An artifact ID can refer to thinks other than check-ins, for example specific versions of files or tickets or wiki pages, etc. In other words, a check-in is always an artifact but an artifact is not always a check-in. > > > Can a tag name be a baseline? >> > > My understanding is that a non-propagating tag is an alias for an artifact > ID, and can be used in the same places. True? Any tag can be used as a check-in name. It doesn't have to be non-propagating and it doesn't have to be unique. In the event that two or more check-ins both carry the same tag (perhaps because the tag propagates) then the one with the most recent timestamp is selected. > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > -- D.
