File locking can be a problem if servers get overloaded but overall it works fine. It is better if you use ssh protocol since then the locking all happens on the same machine. Fossil itself does not handle overlapping access all that gracefully since the default timeout is too short and users will get ugly fails if someone tries to commit at the same time as someone else is cloning or syncing. Note that different filers and file systems have different locking mechanisms and you'll get all the problems others are warning about if your filer does lousy locking. In short I can't say I recommend sharing fossils on a network machine but it is certainly *possible* to do it. > Cheers & thanks, > DG > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users > >
