Sort of. I'm not so concerned about losing my experimental repo recoreds of its files. I was trying to ask if I could acquire a much larger set of files by moving my current repo db file and then go to the highest level of this specific hierarchy and just say `add .' to greatly expand that repo. The `add' would also includ the existing repo files but the repo would then include a much larger selection of nowversioned files. I understand that the history of changes for the files already versioned would be lost. Subsumed by the bigger repo. Or do I need to just forget my current repo and start over at the top level instead of trying to expand the original repo? _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
