If you do actually want to add tags to commits from the command-line you might want to look at ``fossil amend'' instead---it more closely mirrors what is available in the UI: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/help?cmd=amend > 4) There is no mention of a "note" in the documentation.

Again, this requires a deeper knowledge of tags in Fossil. They are much more generic and can be used for interesting things, but probably not what you expect, or want. For more information http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/fileformat.wiki#ctrl In your case, you didn't specify any of the ``special'' tags that Fossil recognized, so it simply attached the tag as a ``note'' to the artifact that you specified: http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/artifact?ln=2362,2366&name=2668a7564265b469 Andy -- TAI64 timestamp: 40005a35c989 ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
Re: [fossil-users] Tag problems
I didn't want the other junk in there, so I re-cloned it. Then used the GUI to tag the checkout. A thought: if the default timeline didn't show edits (like colour or tags) it would be cleaner (and less clamour for rebasing, perhaps). Obviously you'd want an option to see all the gory details.

Can I back those out any way short of re-cloning the remote fossil?

[fossil-users] Tag problems
I tried to add a tag to my fossil. After looking at the documentation which said: I did the following: : ~/fs/Optijava ; fs tag add -n --user-override shruthi pre-dissertation e5b61ea041 not found: pre-dissertation : ~/fs/Optijava ; fs help tag|less : ~/fs/Optijava ; fs tag add -n --user-override shruthi e5b61ea041 pre-dissertation : ~/fs/Optijava ; fs time === 2017-12-16 === 15:11:16 [5b755ab016] Edit [e5b61ea04194cb41|e5b61ea041]: Add tag "shruthi" with note "pre-dissertation". (user: dmason) === 2017-12-12 === 00:11:57 [e5b61ea041] *CURRENT* Adding spills before copy instructions during calls (user: shruthi tags: trunk, shruthi). A few problems: 1) -n did not prevent it from running. 2) --user-override didn't - and didn't consume a parameter and didn't give any warning! I'm guessing I should have used --user-override=shruthi but nothing indicates that and I don't want to put more crap in my timeline. 3) Initially I thought my tag vs. checkin order was wrong (i.e. that the documentation was wrong on that) and then it did something, but not the right thing. 4) There is no mention of a "note" in the documentation. It does say '?VALUE?' at the end of 'fs help tag' but no indication what it is... and the word 'value' is used several times, but not referring to it. 5) I presume these are on the local fossil - can I *REMOVE* them (I tried cancel, but that just adds another record to the timeline!) I haven't done anything else since to that fossil.
