Re: [fossil-users] How to avoid 'touching' the fossil repo for read-only operation?

downloading single files, does not change the database at all. How can this interface manage to do all this work without a single write to the database? -Original Message- From: Andy Bradford Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2014 8:24 PM To: Tony Papadimitriou Cc: Fossil SCM user's discussion

Thanks to both you and Andy for your explanations. fossil zip seems like a great solution for what I need. Now, if there was a matching ‘unzip’ to do the hypothetical unzipping and serve the files as is, it would be even greater! (The name ‘unzip’ only as a mental opposite to ‘zip’, not to

[fossil-users] Problem: Can't get diff against renamed file

2014-04-29 Thread Tony Papadimitriou
If I rename a file (both on disk and with FOSSIL REN command), and then try to do a [G]DIFF command –FROM a date where the file had the old name, I get the message that the file does not exist in that checkin. So, once I rename a file I lose the connection to all its history and the changes

[fossil-users] FIND command inconsistency [69974aaa19]

2014-04-08 Thread Tony Papadimitriou
Hi all, Before I get to the problem I noticed, a little ‘complaint’: I find the fact that many commands work on all branches by default (and without possibility of overriding that default) problematic. If I’m inside a certain branch then I logically (most of the time, at least) only care to
