Re: [fossil-users] remote check in

Just to clear up some confusion. The issues I initially had with fossil were due to a misunderstanding about how fossil works. An issue is that clicking the help button in the fossil UI gives a wall of commands. That is fine if you already understand the concept of the base operations and just

Got it. Then the question is what in your opinion consitiutes a "state" for your project? Say, in case of a development project it may be a buildable collection of source-files (which may include some binary artifacts used as sources). This "state" is then being versioned in time, and Fossil takes

Scott, The problem I am having is how to add files, do check-ins and such via the UI, mostly regarding doing it remotely without command line access. I'm far from an expert user of fossil, but I believe the normal setup is to have a local copy of the repository, where command line access is
