Fossil SCM

this is the first time i've gotten this prompt:

C:/rev/src/trader/src/FactoryBase.cpp contains CR/NL line endings; commit anyhow (y/N/a)?a
New_Version: 32177f91eafbe7f543d667b2cc25d3c7f225b19d

i responded 'a' because i assumed it meant 'abort'. 'a' apparently means 'all'. code inspection also reveals that 'n' would break the loop and not ask you about any more files. so there is currently no way to say 'y' to some files and 'n' to others. you have to commit all or none. i propose that as a minimum, the prompt could be changed to (Yes/No/All) and perhaps be enhanced to (Yes/No/All/Cancel) and allow the user to hit 'n' for a subset of files and continue with committing other files and 'c' would cancel the process.

anonymous claiming to be Ingo Koch added on 2011-04-25 08:08:42 UTC: I would consider this as a bug, not an incident. The behaviour is different from what the open command does for overwriting files. There an N skips only the file you're asked for and proceeds.

With commit the N breaks the whole commit. A checkin with a CR/LF text file and a binary file commits none of them if N is answered for the text file. I also get an error message:
