[fossil-users] close last leave on a branch and it disappears

2011-02-11 Thread Rene
 Because of the discussion about many branches and using private 
 branches
 for development, I was experimenting (on a copy) and closed the leave 
 on the
 windowscompilers branch and the trunk. Instantly they disappear from 
 branches.
 For the windowscompilers branch I was glad, I was, initally, 
 disappointed
 in case of the trunk. Luckily you can do shun and the trunk is back 
 again.

 In the end the trunk is just an other branch, nothing special! So the
 behaviour is fine (with me).

 Richard, if you got the time and it fits with your philosophy then by 
 all
 means close the windowscompilers branch since it has fulfilled it's 
 purpose.
 At least one branch less to clutter the display!

Re: [fossil-users] More consideration for the local changes

2011-02-11 Thread Ron Wilson
2011/2/11 LluĂ­s Batlle i Rossell virik...@gmail.com:

 I think the approach taken by most VCS I've seen is far better than what 
 fossil
 provides now: leave the conflict files in the working directory with a 
 different
 name, like it could be src/update.c.conflict for example.

Yes, something like that. As I recall, SVN update leaves a file with
.rNN as the extension, where NN is the revision number, and another
file with the trial merge, while leaving the local copy as-is. (Of
course, using the revision as a file extension does not work well with
most DVCSs.)

 As I understand now, I've either to use the stash or commit somewhere and try
 the operations susceptible of file merges (update/merge) always with a working
 directory clean of changes. I personally dislike having to have this care.

 Any thoughts? Agreements? Disagreements?

I agree, a VCS - any VCS - should not overwrite or delete local
changes - or anything unmanaged.

That said, I long ago learned (the hard way) the first axiom of
version control: A VCS is not a backup system. So, I do make backups
before I update my local working copies. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong
and do not need to restore anything from a backup.

But please, do provide better handling of local changes and unmanged files.

 (And of course I'm writing this after just having lost some lines of code)

I know what you mean. No matter how often you make backups, once in a
while you wish you made them more often.

[fossil-users] ticket opened date

2011-02-11 Thread Ron Wilson
According to the documentation, tickets consist of a series of
artifacts, each with its own time stamp, the most recent providing the
value of mtime. Is there a way to get the timestamp of a ticket's
first artifact?

Alternately, I tried adding an opened field to the ticket table
schema. In the New Ticket screen, I tried adding:

set opened [ expr { clock format %Y-%m-%d -gmt 1 } ]

but the TH1interpreter did not like this (nor several variations that I tried).

I have searched for and read through several TCL references, but they
have been of limited help. Are there good references any one here
cares to recomend?
