Hello,

I was searching for a way to close a leaf from the command-line, and
didn't find it. (The new 'check-in-edit' branch can do this using
'amend --close'.)

Is there a way using legacy commands?

Also, I notice there are generally questions on this list of the form
'where is command XYZ to do PQR', just like this very post. As the set
of command-line commands and options grows, it becomes more difficult
to find how to do something; some functionality exists as a separate
command, some other exists as option to a command. (I had expected the
'branch' command to have a 'close' subcommand, for instance.)

Is it an idea to have an 'apropos(1)'-like subcommand or option to the
'help' command? For those that don't know, the 'apropos' command on
*nix does a keyword search accross all manual pages - or perhaps
help-pages, in case of fossil.

In my case, I knew I needed/wanted something that CLOSEs something, so
I would have keyword-searched for 'close'.

I'm happy with the 'amend' command btw. And I guess that as I become
more familiar with fossil's internals or philosophy, it becomes easier
to guess the command that provides a wanted behaviour.

Michai
