Description & Comments:
When committing a group of files, e.g.
fossil commit *.c
fossil bails out if any of the *.c files is not changed. The -f flag even doesn't work to force this to happen. Normally I do this when the directory contains a lot of *.c files, and I'm lazy to remember (or type) which ones I changed, I only know that ALL files I changed in this directory should be committed.

So, I request to:

  • Only bail out if NONE of the selected files changed.
  • Use the -f flag to allow committing even if none of the selected files changed.
