Re: [fossil-users] Question about global settings

Couldn't they be treated like the other settings and just have some default in the code base that gets used if locally or globally they are not set? Hopefully this will clear things up. Now I understand better, thank you. I think, you have a reasonable question. Your proposal, though, would have its drawbacks too. I -- for instance -- often take some repositories on a USB stick with me. If the default was not established in creation, working with my repository would depend on the global settings of the user I currently using my repository with. This could be very confusing as well for that use case. But except for this, I do not see any further big drawback at the moment. Perhaps wait whether there are further discussions concerning this thread, and if nothing speaks against this, you could try to open an improvement ticket with your proposal. Except -- of course -- if DRH already rejected it here on the mailing list at that time ...

Re: [fossil-users] Question about global settings
So looking through the source code, I can see why the autosync global doesn't work in my case. It would seem on repository creation, fossil checks to see if the global autosync setting is set, if it is, it sets the local config to whatever the global was. When a db_get is ran it checks the local config and only if it doesn't find a match does it check the global. Since I changed the global autosync setting after the fact, it doesn't get honored. So my question is, should the global config get checked before the local config? Or should local always win? I would think if after the fact I decided I want to turn autosync off globally I should be able to with out having to change autosync in each individual repository. Feel free to let me know if I've missed some obvious behavior.

Re: [fossil-users] Question about global settings
if it is, it sets the local config to whatever the global was. Can you check if this is true? I'm using latest version of fossil, which doesn't exhibit this. - Altu -Original Message- From: James Turner ja...@calminferno.net To: fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org Sent: Thu, Nov 4, 2010 8:05 am Subject: Re: [fossil-users] Question about global settings So looking through the source code, I can see why the autosync global doesn't work in my case.

James Turner wrote: Quick question, if I have autosync set to off globally but the repository has it set to on...who wins? If there is no locally defined setting, it takes the global one. If there is a local setting defined, it will beats the global one. From what I see the repository wins, so what does setting it globally get you? That you have not to set it for every new created repository explictly. Only if it divert from your global policy. For me for instance: autosync, localauth and editor are set globally only. Only for a few reository, I did change one or another setting locally.
