Q: 

How to close a leaf in Fossil

The documentation on branching in Fossil SCM says a leaf is considered closed if it has a closed tag. However, when I enter

> fossil tag add closed xxxxx
> fossil leaves --closed
>

it doesn't show anything as closed. The same thing happens if I add the tag with --propagate. When I check closed leaves of Fossil itself, the leaves listed have no closed tags displayed. What am I misunderstanding?

+1  A: 

Hello. Not too late?

Use fossil tag add --raw closed check-in

Another way to do it is start the user interface, go to check-in details and edit its properties (mark as closed)

Just in time, Benoit, thank you. You could also copy your comment into your answer, because both are working great.

Hello Adam. I was asking whether it was not too late because I registered only Yesterday, and thought this question could be old as fossil-related topics are quite rare here. I now can see that you posted it 2 days ago…

The `fossil ui` command is the recommended way to do this. The ui has a lot of features that are hiding behind inconspicuous links.
