Re: [fossil-users] Questions about the settings command
Hi Richard, thanks, that clarifies things - I will use this to update the online documentation.

[fossil-users] Questions about the settings command

Compare the contents (which will have an impact on performance no doubt)? Yes, it does a comparison of some sort (hash codes?). mtime-changes was added later on, IRRC, to improve speed for the common use case. i unfortunately can't say anything useful in regards to your other questions. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
