today I convinced a colleague to give fossil a try. so we set up a project
(two checkouts/clones, one central server/repo), using a planned journal
article (to be written in latex) as the test case.
now, while I never have used 'unversioned files' so far, he immediately
wanted to try this option for the jpeg-figures to be included (and
probably modified 100 times before the paper is completed).
good: he managed to get them into his repo and to sync it to the server.
good: I managed to sync the unversioned files into my repo.
problems/questions:
1.
the files do not materialize in my checkout after "sync -u". they are
"just" present in my local repository. that probably is as it should be
(just as with standard `sync'). but there seems to be no equivalent to
`fossil up' for the unversioned files.
question: what is the canonical way to get them out of the repo? I see the
export command but it probably is not the idea to issue 20 export commands
(or to write a shell script for that)?
2.
if I export the files manually now, what happens after the next push of
unversioned files by my colleague? I guess, I can sync them (but am not
really notified of changed content) but would have again to export them
manually (and would have to know that this is required)?
maybe I am missing some stupid point here, but my expectation would have
been that unversioned files mostly behave like tracked/versioned files in
that there should be an update facility (say `fossil up -u' or something
like that) of these files in my local checkout?
thank you,
joerg
