Fossil SCM

Hi, I am using fossil just a couple of days, and it is wanderful - I find it very practical and it meets all my needs. Sorry for bloating the ticket with a praise, but I'd like to give some positive feedback... :-)

Here is my problem: - I've created a repository in linux. Commited several times, closed, reopen, everything works. The repository (called unilang) contains a single directory "unilang" with several files. - I've copied the repository to windows and tried fossil open - it failed:

C:\Users\Orest\Documents\rep>fossil open unilang

ADD unilang/calc.g

(null): unable to create directory C:/Users/Orest/Documents/rep/unilang

The path in the error message contains slashes (as in linux), while a valid windows path contains backslashes - could that be related ?

• I still could open the repository in window using "fossil ui unilang" without problems. So I 've extracted a zip file, unzipped and created a new repository with the same file structure in windows. That works - I can open it in windows on another place witout problems. And - it as well works in linux - fossil open can creates all the files in linux from a repository created in windows. So what does not work is creating in linux, opening in windows...

Best Regards, Orest

FYI: I built the exact revision of fossil.exe on Windows XP using the latest MinGW, and copied a repository from linux.

I am unable to reproduce this behavior, 'fossil open' created all the directories and source files.

So far I could only try on Vista, but I'll try XP ASAP. Orest

Out of curiosity, what happens if you run the server on the Linux box and clone it to the Windows box?

I just created a repository on a linux box (CentOS 5) and I am now happily committing from a clone on a Windows Vista (Business) machine. It might be worthwhile checking the errors/comments given when cloning on the Windows box.

My fossil version is 472f9411ee (precompiled binaries for Linux and Windows).

Sorry, I must have done something wrong the first time. It is working now... Orest

Closed, as per last remark in thread.
