Description & Comments: | |||
When a fossil repository has been opened from the root directory ("/"), the attempt to "fossil add" a file results in:
fossil: file outside of checkout tree: <filename> Trying to add a whole subdir additionally prints out a SQL error message: fossil: SQLITE_BUSY: statement aborts at 2: [ROLLBACK] cannot rollback transaction - SQL statements in progress But once a file has been added (e.g. from a "mount -obind" of / to a subdir), it can be committed from / just fine. anonymous added on 2011-05-03 15:40:34 UTC: zPwdConv = mprintf("%/", zPwd); in db_must_be_within_tree()->db_open_local(). This severely limits the usability of fossil for system configuration management. The mentioned workaround (mount -orebind) is only useful for Linux (FreeBSD's unionfs & nullfs do not allow such trickery with the root filesystem). |
