Probably could use some improvement, but aren't these covered already? fossil tag add ?--raw? ?--propagate? TAGNAME CHECK-IN ?VALUE? fossil tag cancel ?--raw? TAGNAME CHECK-IN If I want propagate shouldn't I use --propagate rather than rely on knowing some implementation detail about Fossil's manifest internals? If I do: fossil tag add --propagate '*test' c43801ea69b2292c5ea31732425f69d885e38cd9 It does what I expect. It creates a propagating tag on that checkin that has a * in it's name. Even if I use --raw, I still don't have to know anything about * (but I do have to know the difference between a tag that begins with sym- and one that does not: fossil tag add --raw --propagate 'sym-*test' c43801ea69b2292c5ea31732425f69d885e38cd9 But these things I can learn by looking at a checkin and seeing the raw names of tags. I suppose I can also learn about the fact that * is used in manifests to signify propation.
