- Change comment to "This time I do not know, if the help text is wrong or if the functionality does not work. So perhaps the severity I gave is not justified here if it is only the docu that is wrong! Please consider this <verbatim> fossil help branch </verbatim> Fossil answers <verbatim> Usage: fossil branch SUBCOMMAND ... ?-R|--repository FILE? Run various subcommands on the branches of the open repository or of the repository identified by the -R or --repository option. (...) </verbatim> Now if I try <verbatim> mkdir branchtest cd branchtest date > txt fossil new repos fossil open repos fossil add txt fossil commit --nosign -m initial date >> txt fossil branch new test1 -R repos </verbatim> Fossil answers <verbatim> fossil: there are uncommitted changes. please commit first </verbatim> Ok! But I do not want to commit first, so I try to trick Fossil. :-) Based on the docu shown after <tt>fossil help branch</tt> I try <verbatim> cd .. fossil branch new test1 -R tagtest/repos </verbatim> but unfortunately <verbatim> fossil: not within an open checkout </verbatim> So it seems, that either there is a buglet within <tt>branch new</tt> or within the help text."
