I agree, which is why the policy decision needs to be made at the repo level, not at the fossil-scm.org level. If you don’t want the downsides your post mentions, don’t check symlinks into a repo that needs to be opened on Windows. If you have a repo that needs to open on Windows and the administrator of that repo decides that it legitimately needs symlinks, Fossil should support that use case as best as it can. Obviously there is a limit to the amount of heroism we should expect from Fossil and its developers. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
