That info is also given in “fossil status”, a command you may be using regularly anyway. If you’ve got the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables set, you also get this info in the commented-out part of a commit message in the editor, giving one last clue to the programmer that they’re about to commit something to the wrong branch. All of these say “tags” instead of “branch”, though, which may be the actual problem here. It isn’t always clue to newbies that branches and tags are nearly the same thing in Fossil, and that it is correct to talk about “trunk” as a tag, for example. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
