zit 0.14.2
zit 0.14.2 stops addremove and extras from silently leaving out the
files zit itself reads from the tree.
This release is from trunk. Stores, caches and the wire are unchanged from 0.14.1; nothing is rebuilt on upgrade.
Control files are always included
addremove, extras and status --extra skip names that begin with a dot
unless --dotfiles is given or the dotfiles setting is on, as Fossil's
dotfiles setting does. That also skipped the project's own control files,
so a new repository could be committed without its .zitignore, and
nothing said so.
They now always include the files zit reads from the tree, whatever
dotfiles says: a root .zitignore, everything under .fossil-settings/
and .zit-settings/, and .zit-modules. An ignore rule still keeps one out
if you name it. This goes beyond Fossil, whose dotfiles setting skips
.fossil-settings/ too.
Other dot entries, such as .github/ or .gitignore, are still skipped by
default, but addremove and extras now say once how many they left out,
on stderr:
zit extras: 2 dot-paths not shown (--dotfiles to include)
The count covers only entries --dotfiles would actually list, so a tracked
dotfile or a fully ignored .git does not trigger it.
clean is unchanged: it still leaves control files alone unless
--dotfiles is given, so clean --force never deletes an untracked
.zitignore or .fossil-settings/ file.
Qualification
The release manifest records native qualification against the exact tagged source archive on macOS ARM64, Linux x86-64 and Linux ARM64, using the pinned Zig 0.17.0 toolchain. Publication is gated on unit and end-to-end tests, Git differentials, deterministic simulation, seeded fuzzing, and Fossil interoperability checks on every distributed target.
For the basis of the conformance claim, see the 0.1.0 release notes.
