http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroEMACS or mg fossil set --global editor /usr/local/bin/mg and type emacs once per boot for your real editing environment (and you can even point $EDITOR to emacsclient since fossil has its own editor setting). Now if there was a setting for "throw whatever I type after -m into an edit buffer anyway" then you could continue to use -m for those other SCMs and fossil would protect you. ../Dave _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
