Thank you! That was quick. I am wondering though, whether tags added using the tag add command should also show up? For example, I did: fossil tag add testing trunk But that did not show up in the editor output. The tags I added using --tag in the commit command show up just fine now though,

Just to be sure I understand you correctly, is there then a conceptual difference between tags added with tag add and --tag in the commit command? I thought that they were the same, with the main difference being that tags added in the commit command never propagate. Kind regards, Philip

Yes, it definitely makes sense that --tag should honor *, - and +. When it comes to the tags output in the editor document, could the tags added with tag add be included as well or are there some difficulties there? I should say that I am a relatively new Fossil user, and while I am

@Andy: Yes, you are right. If I add --propagate to the tag add command, it does show up in the output in the editor. @Stephan: I ran some tests regarding tags, and have the following results: 1. Tags added with the --tag option in commit show up as expected, and they do not propagate. 2.
