如何在家庭环境中使用fossil (DVCS)？

Question

我正在尝试fossil作为我的新VCS，因为我是一个在小项目上工作的孤单的开发人员。我开始测试fossil，但我遇到了一个(可能是主要的新手)问题。如何推送或拉入到另一个目录(这在Hg上很容易)。Fossil pull或push命令需要URL，而不是目录。当我在一个目录中启动一个服务器，并尝试从另一个目录推送时，我得到了“服务器循环”错误消息。有什么想法吗？

Answer 1

根据this fossil ticket的说法，克隆、推送和拉取都需要运行fossil服务器。你不能仅仅使用存储库，你必须启动一个服务器，然后参考http://localhost/whatever，你应该是金子。

1. 在原始存储库中运行fossil server
2. 转到目标目录，然后运行fossil clone http://localhost8080 <repository name> (或push或pull)

Answer 2

当我尝试这样做时，克隆和拉取就像预期的那样工作，而不需要运行fossil服务器。

创建主资料库

>mkdir master

>cd master

>fossil new master_repos.fsl
project-id: dbcb1863865d7d3ed74f873df6daf07c5853df5e
server-id:  ea7a2e2496cc9c958cb7cc50bf48c0810b25a0a0
admin-user: james (initial password is "89ef88")

>fossil open master_repos.fsl


>echo "hello world" > a.a

>fossil add a.a
ADDED  a.a

>fossil ci -m "add a.a"
New_Version: 80b67a84ff276e559328f373008ff3014a869170

克隆主资料库

>cd ..

>mkdir trial

>cd trial

>fossil clone ../master/master_repos.fsl trail_repos.fsl

修改母版

>fossil add b.b
ADDED  b.b

>fossil ci -m "add b.b"

Answer 3

如果内容相同，我使用相同的fossil文件。(你不需要拉/推)

fossil new ~/fs/prj1.fossil
(mkdir prj1 ; fossil open ~/fs/prj1.fossil)
(mkdir prj1_feature1 ; fossil open ~/fs/prj1.fossil)

在某些情况下(prj1是满的，prj2是prj1的子集)，我使用更安全的方法'fossil ui‘。例如：

fossil new ~/fs/prj1.fossil
(mkdir prj1 ; fossil open ~/fs/prj1.fossil; fossil ui &) 
mkdir prj1_subset
fossil clone http://localhost:8080 prj1_subset.fossil
fossil open prj1_subset.fossil
