I am writing a Windows-based GUI front-end to your excellent DVCS. My aim is to allow "ordinary" users the benefit of revision management on any file they choose. I also have selfish reasons as a developer to maintain local changes for my employment (we use Subversion).
My front-end calls FOSSIL.EXE to perform the work and is working beautifully for basic usage. However, when attempting to commit binary files I need a way to force the commit without having to answer this question:
./pic.png contains binary data. commit anyhow (a=all/y/N)?
mistachkin added on 2012-11-11 03:28:58 UTC: This can be bypassed by setting the "binary-glob" setting to include the necessary file types, either using the versioned setting file (i.e. and checking it into the repository itself, see "http://www.fossil-scm.org/xfer/doc/trunk/www/settings.wiki") or via the admin settings interface.
