How difficult would it be to implement something like Launchpad's merge proposals or Github's pull requests? We're currently using Fossil the way drh described SQLite-like development processes and it does indeed work very well, but it would be nice if there was a good contributor story for the pro

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Fair enough. Just one request then: Is there already or might there be added a symbolic name for the most recent remote revision on a given branch? So, for instance, if I develop on trunk and I want to submit a patch, I could do: fossil diff --from r

It would be nice to attribute the patch to a particular author. Other than that, sounds reasonable. On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 4:51 PM, Richard Hipp wrote: > On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 4:26 PM, Nolan Darilek wrote: > >> -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> Actually, this sounds a bit l

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Actually, this sounds a bit like what I mentioned several months back regarding bundles. Fossil's model works well in lots of cases, but I too worry about my own and everyone else's experimentation cluttering the main repository in many instances. Fur
