Sure, but you miss out on the things that “close” does: - Make sure there are no unsaved changes. Tony may want this as a reminder to commit or abandon uncommitted changes at the end of the working day. - Clear the local stash if you give -f, or warn if there are stashed and uncommitted changes otherwise. - Disassociate the checkout directory from the repository file, so that future “all” commands don’t try to use it. - Remove the .fslckout file. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
