I have been perusing all the docs all evening, I can’t actually see any way to
tell fossil which branch to commit to, so there must be some implicit behavior
here that I am overlooking. I can see that “checkout” is the command that
checks out a workspace to a given VERSION, which exists on either the trunk or
some branch.
When you do the
commit —branch
does that change the workspace implicitly to be checked out to that branch
instead of the trunk? Does the workspace then become tied implicitly to the
branch unless specifically checked out back to the trunk or another branch?
and thus a subsequent commit would be to the end of that branch rather then the
trunk? Am I right to conclude that at this point if the dev issues a checkout
command again against a VERSION on the trunk, then subsequent commits would go
to the end of the trunk rather then the branch?
Do I have that about right?
if so, not a big deal then, just have to use wrapper scripts to make sure to
follow your work flow, always create a new branch on the first commit for any
ticket. I will probably use a cookie or something to make sure while working
on a ticket, all commits go to that branch, and tag the commit with the
[nnnnnnnnnn] number as well.
If they need to work on more than one ticket concurrently, then no big deal,
create another branch and switch to that one for a while.
if they need to do something directly to the trunk, then checkout trunk and
just do it without code review, which is sometimes the case for some sys admin
stuff.
I’m starting to get my head around fossil I think..
