I'm really surprised by that. I've always used an editor to type in comments, not only in Fossil, but in Bazaar and Mercurial also (and RCS, though RCS doesn't provide for using an external editor). Why wouldn't you? It's so much easier to compose the message and correct typing mistakes if one is doing it in an editor rather than on the command line. The only situation where I would pass the comment on the command line is if it part of script of some sort. -- Will _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
