--admin-user switch to `fossil import`

(1) By Alfred M. Szmidt (ams) on 2020-02-19 07:56:29

Small patch to add -A/--admin-user flag to the `fossil import` command.  Found that I needed it, maybe someone else will find it use for it.

Just FYI, this has been added to my todo list for early next week (almost certainly Monday).

This flag has been added to a new branch:

<https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?r=import-admin-user>

i don't personally have a way to test it, so am looking for feedback on whether it actually does what it's documented as doing.

Thank you.

Works for me.  Using a random git repository, I did the following
(which isn't much different from what I did before):

$ git fast-export --all | fossil import -A ams --git ../test-import-admin.fossil
Rebuilding repository meta-data...
  100.0% complete...
Vacuuming... ok
project-id: 8...b
server-id:  8...6
admin-user: ams (password is "...")
$

And everything looks just fine.

That's a relief, because Richard already merged it into the trunk :).
