The ``fossil tag'' command is for very low-level tag operations. You probably don't want to use it until you understand what it's doing. > 1) -n did not prevent it from running. That would seem to be a bug. If you do actually want to add tags to commits from the command-line you might want to look at ``fossil amend'' instead---it more closely mirrors what is available in the UI: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/help?cmd=amend > 4) There is no mention of a "note" in the documentation.

Again, this requires a deeper knowledge of tags in Fossil. They are much more generic and can be used for interesting things, but probably not what you expect, or want. For more information http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/fileformat.wiki#ctrl In your case, you didn't specify any of the ``special'' tags that Fossil recognized, so it simply attached the tag as a ``note'' to the artifact that you specified: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/artifact?ln=2362,2366&name=2668a7564265b469 Andy -- TAI64 timestamp: 400000005a35c989 _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
