Pointless Fossil is a GUI helper program for Fossil. In many cases the excellent command line interface and information in Fossil's built in web interface is all you need - but I wanted a little help to:

• Have a dedicated interface to see changes/additions/deletes
• Very quick access to diffs for any changes
• GUI picker for files - especially for situations where I want to only commit changes from a subset of the changed files
• Quick access to a number of different repositories
• Work with/help with the command line interface and web interface rather than try to hide or replace them

Features:

• The program watches for changes and displays a list of new/removed/changed files
• Generate some common commands based on selected files
• Offer a very simple command line to run any Fossil command
• Tab dedicated to the Timeline page from the web interface
• Right click and copy file names/paths to the clipboard
