And of course I mean FINFO (not FIND), but I always type it as F and in my mind it got memorized as FIND.

If I’m inside a certain branch then I logically (most of the time, at least) only care to see things related to that branch because at that moment I don’t care what’s going on any other branches. Although an option (for all commands) to allow me to run it against the whole tree would be great when I need a fuller picture. But, looking at the whole tree at all time is counter productive (and sometimes even confusing/misleading if you’re not careful enough to notice the branch tag, for example with FOSSIL TIMELINE command), in my opinion. Anyway, now to the specific problem with FIND: I have a file xxx that appears in several branches. If I’m on the ‘trunk’ branch for example, and type FOSSIL FIND xxx I will get a list of all changes for xxx in all branches (not just trunk). Now, I have another branch where the file xxx is deleted. From that branch, FOSSIL FIND xxx no longer shows any history from the xxx file. Why is it that from a branch that xxx exists I can see xxx in any other branch but from a branch where xxx is missing I cannot see the xxx’s in the other branches? It should be either I can see it in all branches at all times, or on my current branch at all times. Is this a bug, or am I not using the system correctly? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
