Is there any way to implement functionality equivalent to git smudge and clean in fossil?
I would like to use fossil for a number of Kicad electronic projects. Kicad uses simple text files for describing the schematic and circuit layout so is a very suitable candidate for version control. Several users have used git to facilitate this but I would like to use fossil. Due to some internal book keeping there are changes made to the first line of the file which records a date stamp when the file is opened even if nothing else changes. I do not want to reversion every time I open a file! There are a couple of other changes I need but I won't complicate it - if I can understand how I might address this in principle I can see if I can work out an actual workflow. Using git it is possible to parse specific files and ignore very selected changes to it using a filter. (Git clean and a Sed incantation). I also need a way to remove some selective changes to a particular line in another file - a trick that is possible using git smudge before staging them. (Yes, I know fossil doesn't do staging like git) Is there any way I can achieve something similar in fossil? For a more detailed description of what I would like to achieve, the workflow I would like to emulate is described using git on the following page http://jnavila.github.io/plotkicadsch/ JP Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
