fyi, in our today's "test case", the unversioned files reside in a designated sub-directory of the checkout root *plus* in sub-directories thereof. I presume, this is typical: it might not always be desirable (or feasible) to put *all* unversioned files (there might be many...) in a common, single directory. moreover, in our test case, these files are image files whose path appears in the `\includegraphics' directives in the LaTeX file using them: so they must not change their location relative to the checkout root ...
overall, I would think the handling of unversioned files needs always to respect the (recorded) original path relative to the repo root (as also reported by `fossil uv ls'). anything else might break builds (of latex docs or programms), no?
works as it does now. If you turn on the setting, though, then the unversioned files work just like other files in the check-out, except that Fossil never records their history.
such a setting (even if not versionable) would be an ideal solution in my view. turning this setting on by default might also offer the "least surprise" for the user (it sure surprised us here today that the files simply did not show up in the other working copy at all ...)
I'm not sure yet whether or not this is a good idea. I'll need to think about it.
see above: my opinion is, that the location of the files should be as reported by `fossil uv ls', i.e. unchanged relative to checkout root. I do hope, this would not cause trouble elsewhere for fossil or complicate implementation too much?
thank you for bothering to look into this. joerg
