I’m aware of the “within the repository”, and actually I’m not among those who are so interested in this changing this, as proposed by others. So, not the same issue here.
What I’m reporting is unrelated to changes happening on disk. If you run the example below you should not be allowed to close the repo since there are uncommitted changes (the mv). But, since nothing actually happened, and that exactly is the problem I’m seeing, you can close it normally (without –force). This looks like a bug to me.

FOSSIL MV does not work as expected (Win7machine) The key wording there is "within the repository tree". It doesn't change the file system, only the naming of the files, etc. in the repository. Whether this is desired or correct behaviour is … an area of frequent discussion. My own response to that discussion is to use the fsl wrapper (http://fossil.0branch.com/fsl/home) and make it do whatever I expect it to do.

A simple way to reproduce (f = fossil): f new xxx.fossil f o xxx.fossil mkdir a\a dir > a\a\xxx f add a f com -m "Initial" f mv a\a b f close Based on help screen, and usual behavior of mv, I would expect subdirectory a\a to be now known as b, and of course all files below to move accordingly. But nothing happens. If I move each file separately, it works. This is what the help screen shows: Usage: f mv|rename OLDNAME NEWNAME or: f mv|rename OLDNAME... DIR Move or rename one or more files or directories within the repository tree. You can either rename a file or directory or move it to another subdirectory. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users -- "Perhaps people don't believe this, but throughout all of the discussions of entering China our focus has really been what's best for the Chinese people.
