Timeline

draft-fossil-submanifests-00 §7.2 no longer gates S-bearing artifacts on the peer's announced version: fossil 2.29 announces 22900 and reads no tree. A peer that reads trees now says so with pragma send-submanifests, which go-libfossil sends in every request right after client-version and in every reply, clone replies included, right after server-version, whatever the sub-manifest settings. The version threshold and the 22900 reader marker are gone; client-version and server-version announce 22800, the fossil release whose protocol this library speaks.

A tree manifest or sub-manifest is refused to a peer that has not sent the pragma with "Peer does not accept sub-manifests.", never converted or omitted. A server decides from the whole request it answers, a client from the replies it has received in the exchange. avoid-submanifests moves from the ci-lock answer into the same leading run of every reply.

Enabling emission over a stored submanifest-k outside 1 to 12 without an explicit k is refused, naming the stored value (§8.1).

The conformance suite pins the draft with the 2026-10-19 errata applied: SM-7.2-1 and SM-6.3-3 are met rather than deviations, SM-7.2-2, SM-7.2-3, SM-6.3-1/2/7 and SM-8.1-3 follow the corrected text, and SM-7.2-4 covers the pragma's placement. The zit interop pushes a tree go-libfossil wrote to zit and checks both sides refuse trees when the pragma is stripped.

Checkout.Revert refused to undo a rename when another file held the old name: a swap, a chain, a new add or an untracked file there. Like fossil's revert it now saves each file it writes or deletes for undo, then reverts in one transaction, so Undo or fossil undo brings back what it overwrote, and a failed revert puts the files back.

Undoing a rename takes back the old name from whatever row holds it: a row renamed onto it is reverted to its own old name, and any other row is dropped, as fossil's UPDATE OR REPLACE drops it. Every committed file ends under its committed name; fossil's own revert leaves a swap renamed and stops tracking the second file of a chain.

A file outside a sparse checkout's cone is never on disk, so it read as missing, hence changed, and followed the target's rename; any upstream rename outside the cone then refused the update. It is now classified before renames are followed and matched by name: a rename outside the cone moves only the record, one into the cone writes the file under its new name, and an unedited file renamed out of it leaves the disk.

A symlink edited locally and changed by the target was merged through the link, writing conflict markers into the file it points at. As fossil's update does, it is now a conflict with nothing written, listed in UpdateResult.Unmerged; a rename still removes the old name. check-in: f373c9a8ae user: [email protected] tags: feat/submanifest-reader, main, trunk
