I've  seen  it  work before  too,  so  I'm  not  sure why  it  would  be
different with  the steps Andy  Goth provided.  Guess it will  take some
investigation...

It does work sometimes, at least: https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/1f378f9e3

I did a rebuild after entering the change above.

I  just tried  and was  able  to reproduce  the problem.  It happens  on
rebuild whether  one does it via  the ``fossil amend'' command  or using
the ``fossil ui'' to edit the checkin.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment about having a bad timezone (except
in Narnia) as a retraction of your original problem.

And now you've issued a correction... Guess I'll have to try it now.

Try this sequence:

f new repo.fossil
mkdir ckout
cd ckout
f open ../repo.fossil
touch xxx
f add xxx
f commit -date-override 2018-01-01 -m 'add xxx'
sleep 5
TIME=$(date +%FT%T)
sleep 5
f rm -hard xxx
f commit -allow-older -m 'remove xxx'
f timeline
f amend -date "$TIME" prev
f timeline
f rebuild
f timeline


Has anyone tried running these commands yet?  I want to see if anyone 
else can replicate my problem.


Correction: Replace "date +%FT%T" with "date -u +%FT%T" to avoid 
timezone problems.

Oops, I didn't look very closely at this.  Time zone issues, ugh.  Did 
you know that Narnia doesn't have time zones?  A round earth was not a 
very good idea.

The third timeline, after the rebuild, has the original time warp again 
despite also showing the correction tag:

I don't know what that is about.

One of several examples is the working date tag is attached to this
check-in: https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/1cc4be7ebc463921

The date tag itself is here: https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/12d1067fa974bf12

You can clearly see that the check-in time was shifted by 7 hours.
That date change has survived countless rebuilds.

I don't have any idea what the tags are not working for you.  Can you
see the tag artifacts in your artifact list?

The corrected time is lost when I rebuild the repository.

I remember the reparent tags also not surviving a rebuild.

[fossil-users] Amended check-in time

[Andy Goth]

I'm having trouble changing the time of a check-in using the Web
interface or the amend command.  Either way I get a good result in the
repository I amended, but it doesn't seem to sync right.  When viewing
on other sync'ed repositories, the amended time isn't always there.

With the test I just did, the corrected time showed up in the repository
I edited and the one to which I directly sync'ed, but it did not show up
in the repository to which the second repository sync'ed.

Many months ago I also had trouble with the reparent tag being
unreliable in the same way, to the point where I was forced to
laboriously reconstruct my history without the use of reparent.  I
wonder if any of the other amendment tags have the same issue.

In case you're wondering, my topology is a patchwork of always-available
network connections, intermittent VPN connections, temporary network
cables, and disgustingly manual sneakernet.  I'm immensely grateful that
Fossil is able to negotiate this environment at all; that's one of the
features that makes it a necessity I continue to fight for even despite
significant pushback.  No alternative exists, so I'll keep using it.
