I'm tending to suspect not (additional trunk at creation) for a reason that I will soon make clear, but the 'version mismatch' hypothesis is interesting. Fyi, the creation process went like this: * I created my repo locally, with current (v1.29, June 12th) fossil binary. I added a few things to trunk, and made some branches and added a bunch of stuff there. I decided to put it on a third party hosting site so I could avoid hosting myself. * Its big, so chisel can't import it, but they have a feature where you explicitly supply the project id, and then you can sync your big repo into it. So I did that. * I tossed my local, and then cloned down the one on chisel. (Have done this in several places, actually.) * I later added a new branch successfully as expected off trunk (in this case named 'sqlite3-3.8.6'). This is why I don't think the 'new trunk upon upload' theory is true (assuming my recollection is correct) * Then today, as mentioned, I cloned afresh to a different machine (which is why I disbelieve the 'fork because of out-of-sync repos' hypothesis), and opened, and this is when I noticed I had the apparently empty root. I did not check the gui at this time, alas, I figured I was getting old. So I checked stuff into root that I was pretty darn sure was already there (because if it wasn't it would have made creating all those other branches painful, and I would have remembered that). * I take a look at the timeline on the gui, and Lo! And Behold! What appears to be multiple trunks. Anyway, again, not a crisis for me, but I didn't think this was possible in the schema of things, and thought somebody might like to know if it is a symptom of some sort of bug. -dave _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
