For small projects, Fossil is a great choice for version control. Fossil's command-line interface is very easy to use and plays nice with utilities like grep, gawk and xargs. The following are examples of common operations:
-
Check in only edited files:
fossil changes | grep EDITED | gawk '{print $2}' | xargs fossil commit -m "Added feature X." -
Add only files with name containing "pattern" to repo:
fossil extras | grep pattern | xargs fossil add -
Move files in repo to match move on filesystem:
fossil changes | grep MISSING | gawk '{print "fossil mv " $2 " subdir/" $2}' | sh
