Considering no one thought about this before I mentioned that "fossil
diff" also returned nothing… it looks like it might not be that bad an
idea to tell the user that an empty result simply means that no change
was detected between the workspace file and the last revision in the
repo. No reason to worry about the settings, short/long filenames,
forward and backward slashes, etc.
But then, "fossil changes" returns nothing either, and it's coherent
with the Unix philosophy.
Bah, it's a hot Saturday in the Northern hemisphere, we didn't spend
that much time on the issue, and today's exchange should hopefully be
reachable through Google for other users' benefit. Science!
