Status of Local Checkout

Status: implemented 20130223

Required permissions: n/a (local access only)

Request: /json/status

This command requires a local checkout and is analog to the "fossil status" command.

Request Options: currently none.

Payload example:

{
"repository":"/home/stephan/cvs/fossil/fossil.fsl",
"localRoot":"/home/stephan/cvs/fossil/fossil/",
"checkout":{
  "uuid":"b38bb4f9bd27d0347b62ecfac63c4b8f57b5c93b",
  "tags":["trunk"],
  "datetime":"2013-02-22 17:34:19 UTC",
  "timestamp":1361554459
 },
/* "parent" info is currently missing. */
"files":[
  {"name":"src/checkin.c", "status":"edited"}
  ...],
"errorCount":0 /* see notes below */
}

Notes:

• The checkout.tags property follows the framework-wide convention that the first tag in the list is the primary branch and any others are secondary.
• errorCount is +1 for each missing file. Conflicts are not treated as errors because the CLI 'status' command does not treat them as such.
• TODO: Info for the parent version is currently missing.
• TODO: "merged with" info for the checkout is currently missing.
