> Reparenting is for doing one-time major surgery operations on a Fossil > repo, not for everyday use.
Thank you very much for your comments, and for your suggestions about dealing with unwanted check-ins. I take great care to keep my Fossil repositories intact, and no such thing as a "reparent" tag will ever make it there. I have multiple levels of backups, and new commits often go to some temporary repository, with a scripting solution (basically `fossil zip' from old / unzip / check-in on new) to import ranges of check-ins from the temporary to the permanent repository (so that all later amendments are already there right from the beginning). With these short-lived temporary repositories, I sometimes try new things about Fossil, and I found it would be okay to report that I have a case of the rescue "one-time major surgery operation" behaving somewhat unexpected. But I agree it's not "everyday use". After a few more tests, I still haven't been able to find a simple reproducible test case. But following is a modification to my previous (Windows batch) script that produces disjoint timeline rails in the web view, by means of branch hiding. Though, not sure if it is related to my original problem. fossil init test.fossil fossil open test.fossil echo m1.1>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil add sample.txt fossil ci -m m1.1 --tag m1.1 --branch br1 --no-warnings fossil amend m1.1 -m m1.1-edited echo m1.2>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m m1.2 --tag m1.2 --no-warnings fossil amend m1.2 -m m1.2-edited echo m1.3>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m m1.3 --tag m1.3 --no-warnings fossil amend m1.3 -m m1.3-edited echo m1.4>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m m1.4 --tag m1.4 --no-warnings fossil amend m1.4 -m m1.4-edited echo m1.5>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m m1.5 --tag m1.5 --no-warnings fossil amend m1.5 -m m1.5-edited fossil co m1.1 echo m2.1>>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m m2.1 --tag m2.1 --branch br2 --no-warnings fossil amend m2.1 -m m2.1-edited @echo *************************************** & pause fossil merge br1 --integrate fossil ci -m m2.2 --tag m2.2 --no-warnings fossil amend m2.2 -m m2.2-edited echo m2.3>>sample.txt @echo *************************************** & pause fossil ci -m 2.3 --tag m2.3 --no-warnings fossil amend m2.3 -m m2.3-edited rem fossil reparent m1.5 m1.3 @echo *************************************** & pause fossil merge m1.4 fossil ci -m m2.4 --tag m2.4 --no-warnings --allow-conflict fossil amend m2.4 -m m2.4-edited fossil tag add --raw --propagate hidden m1.2 --Florian _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
