But you are not the first to request that capability.  I've been on a
Fossil-enhancement binge lately - perhaps I can find the time to fix

that has not gone unnoticed :)

that for you...

this would be great, of course, if doable. I actually was suspecting/"afraid" that the current behavior is by design and that there might be deeper reasons for it ... but when I discussed this with my colleague we were not able to find an example were providing `up -u' or `uv up' could cause a problem. could it?

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
