Both `fossil revert afile -r ver` and `fossil update ver afile` seem to be a synonymous way to fetch a file's revision. HOWEVER, there's an important distinction, `fossil update` would __merge-in uncommitted changes__ with the requested revision, while `fossil revert` would not -- it would just fetch the requested revision. `fossil revert` allows you to back up from some messed up changes to a given file without the need to commit related changes to other files. I find this use-case fairly practical. `fossil stash` could be used for this as well, yet revert seems more straightforward. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
