I mostly do it to make non-active branches no longer show up in the UI
and as the result of some command lines (fossil leaves).

I use feature branches a lot, and when I'm done with one I merge it back 
into to mainline development branch, and then I mark its leaf node as 
'closed' to minimize clutter. In Subversion you would just remove the 
branch (you can revive it if need be).

[fossil-users] Concepts: why close a lead

2011-08-12 Thread Jos Groot Lipman
I am trying to get my head around some basic concepts.

One question that pops up: why/when would I close a leaf.
Is this purely for myself to remember I have finished that part of branch or
are there more questions and/or reasons?

The only reason i've ever done it is to avoid confusion on the Leaves page.
People not familiar with fossil have sometimes asked me, which link do i
need to download? so i try to keep only one leaf open at a time when
possible.
