  1. Appended to comment:

    drh added on 2008-07-25 11:52:46:
    The "branch" command was added by Jeremy Cowgar about 10 months ago, during a burst of productivity. But since then, we haven't heard anything from Jeremy. I do not know what the "branch" command is intended to do, so I cannot judge whether or not it is working correctly or not. My inclination is simply to delete the command all together. I do not see that it does anything useful.

    Please take further discussion of the "branch" command to the mailing list. In general, tickets should be used to report real bugs. Please do not use tickets as a place to ask questions or as a discussion forum.

  1. 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."
