Fossil SCM

fossil add will happily add all files in current dir, and subdirs if present.Subsequent fossil commit will fail on the subdirectories, though, saying they're not part of the repo.

There is no file_isdir() handling in the ci/commit code, and even more confusingly, the object-types and style seem different between the two (add and ci/commit) blocks.

Could these share a common function that recurses into dirs and returns strings/objects that are the files? Could fossil ci be made to behave same as fossil add ?

Simply omit the "" and "fossil commit" automatically commits everything. Why do you want to include "" syntax?

If I have a logical group of commits in a single dir, and don't want to commit every single outstanding commit, then "*" is useful.

On a Unix or GNU box you can do this if

• You're not trying to recurse

• There aren't any 'extra' files in the directory

• You get the full path from the root of the checkout.

That last is as easy as starting at the checkout root, and
    fossil commit path/to/the/checkins/*

You may not even need the "full" path—but it never hurts to over-specify a path.

A short Perl (or some lesser language ;) script can clean and commit a particular directory in one swell foop.

You can fix all kinds of problems by wrapping them in Perl, ultimately down to the point of writing an entire SCM in it. I don't think asking for consistency in behavior is that unrealistic a request.

Keep in mind that the '' is parsed by the SHELL, and NOT by fossil. What fossil gets as input is whatever the shell expanded '' to be.
