Potential bug in fossil changes command

(1) By anonymous on 2022-09-02 03:02:44 [source]

The setup (in an empty directory):

fossil init repo.fossil
fossil open repo.fossil
touch some-file
fossil add some-file
fossil commit
echo 'some data' > some-file

Now if you run

fossil changes --all --extra

you get

EDITED     some-file

which is expected.

But if you run

fossil changes --all --extra some-file

you get

EDITED     some-file
EXTRA      some-file

which doesn't make sense as some-file can't be both managed and unmanaged, right?

P.S. I am running with a fossil version of

This is fossil version 2.19 [1e131febd3] 2022-07-21 16:10:55 UTC

A definite bug but a cosmetic one. i'll look into this as priorities allow (which currently means "not soon!") unless someone else picks it up before then.

Thank you for the report!
