I actually considered something similar but discarded it since adding a new privilege seems somewhat like bloat. I already find the privilege letters somewhat opaque. Adding another one is undesirable to me. Though, being able to get at arbitrary fossil settings via TH1 might be nice. I opted for the wiki page approach because they also already sync automatically, introducing a new thing such as the 'user settings' as you describe adds more to be synced. What might also suite me is to add a command to access fossil tags via TH1, then I could attach a tag, say, 'code-defect-template' with the content I want to the initial check-in, and then access it that way. And actually, that's somewhat closer to what I want anyway, since then only people with check-in ability can modify the template. What is everyone's feeling on adding two new TH1 commands: one to access settings, and one to access fossil tags? Usage would be something like: fossiltag TAG_NAME FALLBACK fossilsetting SETTING_NAME FALLBACK (as wolfgang described above) -B _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
