*That* would be neat to have -- I've heard of it in git, but not explored it. The next time that I end up w/ two logical ideas commited w/ a single checkin won't be the first. Currently, if it's important enough for me, what I do is [stash] the commit, generate a diff and then selectively apply that diff in the appropriate number of steps, committing ea. logical idea at a time. Otherwise, re: staging area vs. fossil commit, it seems it's just a matter of default include vs default deny as far as what gets committed. One thing that would alleviate miscommitted collections of files (or miscommitted anything) is the ability to [pop] off a branch tip... -bch > > -- > Andreas Kupries > Senior Tcl Developer > Code to Cloud: Smarter, Safer, Faster(tm) > F: 778.786.1133 > andre...@activestate.com, http://www.activestate.com > Learn about Stackato for Private PaaS: http://www.activestate.com/stackato > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
