Running fossil without arguments usefully suggests how to get help on commands. It also claims that running 'fossil commands' will produce a list of all commands. But that is presently false. To get that list, it seems running 'fossil help commands' is necessary. The 4th line of output from bare 'fossil' needs to be changed. Instead of reading:
"or: fossil commands -- for a list of all commands"
it should read:
"or: fossil help commands -- for a list of all commands"
or perhaps:
"or: fossil help --all -- for a list of all commands"
.
(This is not cosmetic when help is viewed as actual functionality.) drh added on 2012-11-11 17:52:42 UTC: | |||
