Re: [fossil-users] Sub-repositories?
So it sounds like this might be a way to support the use case for which I proposed index.fossil last week, correct? That is, I could have a default repository served up at the root of the domain, with the wiki and other links referencing its pages, but add sub-repositories for the various spin-off projects. Is this accurate? On 03/29/2011 10:45 AM, Michael Richter wrote: Thanks, Richard. That cleared things up.

But for the main repo that contains the project wiki and other resources, the client has full Setup capability so that they can do whatever they want on their private repo without accidentally making undesirable changes to the subrepos. Does that mean that users authorized to commit changes to the subrepos must login directly to the respective subrepo? Does that also require a seperate user ID from the single-sign-on ID? ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Entirely separate fossils linked to the main repository, or separate namespaces for tags and such in a single fossil? Or the ability to open a nested repository in another? Wondering if I'll need to migrate some of my multi-repository fossils to a new format somehow. On 03/28/2011 09:36 PM, Michael Richter wrote: I just saw an intriguing message in the timeline. Leaf: Merge the sub-repo capability into trunk. I can't find anywhere in the help, the fossil docs nor in the wiki that talks about this. How does one use this new sub-repo capability? Here's my conjecture, based on how Git does submodules, without having looked at the Fossil subrepository code... I'm guessing that in the repository, a submodule might be represented by an artifact that contains an identification of the subrepository, plus the identifier of the checked-out tree for that repository, with a path in a manifest identifying the location of the subrepository in the directory tree. A subrepository could be identified by a Fossil URL or maybe requiring it to be a sibling of the current repository -- a URL is nice, because it provides a way to retrieve it when you clone the parent repository. On disk, a subrepository might be checked-out as a subdirectory of the current check-out (corresponding to the entry in the manifest).
