Added the --save-http-url-password option to the clone command to make it skip the "remember password (Y/n)?" prompt if the password was given in an HTTP URL. We avoid this for ssh:// URLs since you have pre-shared keys, SSH agents, and such to avoid the need in that case. Without this feature, you can't script around it by piping "echo y" through the command because the "remember password" feature as of trunk only works when isatty(0), which will be false when Fossil is downstream from a pipe like that. ...

03:46
More clarifications in the "How Can Forks Divide Development Effort?" section of branching.wiki, primarily in explaining how each user in the example arrives at the view shown in the swim lane diagram. There were multiple implicit possilibities before, and some were misinterpreting it. ... (check-in: 70a7db80 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-06-21
13:19
Gave Users A thru E human names, and humanized their story a bit in the branching.wiki article. ... (check-in: 2ac5bc3c user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:58
Moved check-ins 3 and later right in the Figure 6 swim lane diagram within branching.wiki so that there is only one event at each time step. As previously drawn, it implied that check-ins 2 and 3 occurred at the same time, but that's neither true nor necessary to our point here. Also evened up the lane widths. ... (check-in: 856c9565 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:41
Fixed an alignment problem in Figure 6 of branching.wiki, and clarified the "back online" step in User C's lane. ... (check-in: 8c44fd2b user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Typo fix ... (check-in: eed1ff61 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Put --allow-fork back into the fossil ci "would fork" message. Everyone's unhappy now. :) ... (check-in: acb5324c user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:40
Removed "The Author's Voice" from www/branching.wiki due to multiple complaints. ... (check-in: 1926d1d5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Markdownism fix in a Wiki-formatted doc ... (check-in: cbca374c user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:10
Added the section "Fixing Forks" to www/branching.wiki, and added an explanatory paragraph about the intentionality of forking. ... (check-in: 2686bad1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-06-19
18:45
Added a new section, "Branch Names Need Not Be Unique" to www/branching.wiki. ... (check-in: 42bfe936 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
18:24
Added a link to https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/branching.wiki#branching from the recent changes to the fossil ci "would fork" error message. *Hopefully* this will end the debate. ... (check-in: b761a729 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
18:09
Several expansions on the new points in www/branching.wiki ... (check-in: bf048cd5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Typo fix ... (check-in: 184cf208 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Fixed a command in the previoius checkin ... (check-in: d5e1e113 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:58
More expansion on the discussion of creating branches in Fossil, especially in the second-form commands, which were incomplete in the prior version. ... (check-in: 73911668 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:41
Added the key distinction ("A branch is a named, intentional fork") to www/branching.wiki and added info on actually creating branches. ... (check-in: 1e0cf467 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:33
Added a generaliation of the prior edit to www/branching.wiki ... (check-in: 3cc437a5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:13
Expanded on the discussion of forking vs branching in www/branching.wiki. ... (check-in: b882c623 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:58
Removed other Figures' graphs from www/branch0*.graphml left from the breaking up of www/branching.graphml. ... (check-in: e3c55977 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:57
Removed www/branching.graphml: that was accidentally checked in. (The diagrams started out in a single yEd document, but I later decided to make them separate documents, and forgot to remove this from the local filesystem before saying "fossil add www/bra*".) ... (check-in: 85da145e user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:56
Fixed numbering of node 6 in the new SVG/yEd branching diagrams. ... (check-in: 5011b202 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:22
Replaced the GIFs in www/branching.wiki with yEd diagrams and SVGs exported from them. This allows scalability on various screen sizes, avoids crunchy pixelated edges, allows editing, and saves space on the wire. ... (check-in: 00aded16 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Partial walk-back of [66d55e9b43]: instead of simply removing the recommendation to pass --allow-fork to fossil checkin to solve the "would fork" problem, recommend instead that the user create a new branch with --branch. That advice causes Fossil to create a named branch rather than a nameless branch -- well, *duplicate-named*, anyway -- which is easier to cope with and doesn't make all the other Fossil instances in an organization start griping about unresolved forks. Only the user who created the named fork is bothered with creating and resolving the fork in this mode of operation. ... (check-in: 8dcf4ffc user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-06-16
20:16
Polishing pass on www/collisions.ipynb: improved docs, simplified the "sd" parameter as "spread", removed an empty cell, and renumbered the cells. ... (check-in: 847423ed user: wyoung tags: trunk)
19:22
Removed the "or --allow-fork" advice output from "fossil checkin" when forcing the checkin would fork the branch. It's good for Fossil to have this option, especially for automated tooling that needs to just bull forward blindly, but it's bad advice to give to interactive users. Let them discover it via --help, if they learn of it at all. ... (check-in: 66d55e9b user: wyoung tags: trunk)
19:03
Expanded on the rules for literal/verbatim/fenced text in the /md_rules document. ... (check-in: 1b2d6c30 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:58
Adding a simulation (www/collisions.ipynb) for checkin collisions over a working day, given parameters like number of checkins per day. This is in support of discussion on the forum centering on this post: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/7349f4b6e1 ... (check-in: 950e54ef user: wyoung tags: trunk)
