<h1>Bug-Tracking In <a href="index.wiki">Fossil</a></h1>
A bug-report in fossil is called a "ticket". Tickets are tracked
separately from code check-ins (baselines).
Some other distributed bug-tracking systems store tickets as files within
the source tree and thereby leverage the syncing and merging capabilities
of the versioning system to sync and merge tickets. This approach is
rejected in fossil for three reasons:
1. Check-ins (a.k.a. "baselines") in fossil are immutable. So if
tickets were part of the check-in, then there would no way to add
tickets were part of the check-in, then there would be no way to add
new tickets to a check-in as new bugs are discovered.
2. Any project of reasonable size and complexity will generate thousands
and thousands of tickets, and we do not want all those ticket files
cluttering the source tree.
3. We want tickets to be managed from the web interface and to have a
