Closing the repo isn't always going to be an option. For example when you have to restore from a backup or are wiping a system to install a new system you may not be able to find all the repos and close them. I am working from backups in my example. fossil wouldn't let me open the repo. I haven't thought it through from a file integrity point of view but I'm looking for a way to do this given the repo is open and is in a new location. Also, by closing the repo, you will loose your stash and latest undo's (if you have some) -- Martin G. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Here's an old thread on the topic which might be helpful. i didn't read all the way through it, but it seems to be the same question and a workaround: http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg06800.html Be aware: that thread refers to a file named _FOSSIL_. That file is now called .fslckout. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Subversion uses directories called .svn for years now. And the GnuWin32 toolchain uses files like .lesshst as well. It is true that you cannot create files and directories that start or end with a dot via the explorer, but it is possible via command line and via API functions. In fact, this fossil behaviour puzzles me a lot because I tend to share working copies via network share and at some point I end up having _FOSSIL_ and .fslckout which are not in sync. Perhaps having a configuration option to set the checkout filename would please all?

Your fossil binary on *nix will (i _think_) then see _FOSSIL_ and will (i think) use it. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Both windows and unix should look for both filenames. So you shouldn't ever run into a case where you end up with both (unless some of your machines are running a very old version of Fossil). If you have a test case that demonstrates otherwise, I'd sure like to see it. -- D.

Perhaps I was still running 1.23 on one of the machines at that time. I'll keep an eye on it.
