16:34
Update the server.wiki document to try to make it clear that Fossil works fine as a peer-to-peer system and does not require the use of a server. ... (check-in: dc0a342d76 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:33
Tightened up the opening paragraph of "Linux vs SQLite" section of fossil-v-git. ... (check-in: 0297ae7fae user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:25
Moved numbered digressions in fossil-v-git down to the end of the document as a new "Asides and Digressions" section. These are things we don't want cluttering the main argument, not merely big parentheticals. ... (check-in: 845262742e user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:14
Expanded the "Sync over push" section of fossil-v-git beyond the technology to cover the "why" behind the decision. Moved the Jim McCarthy quote up to be with it. ... (check-in: 69e64183f1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:01
Rewrote "No rebasing" section in fossil-v-git for clarity ... (check-in: 970e9173d4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:59
Rewrote the "Trust over hierarchy" point in fossil-v-git for clarity. ... (check-in: d178c782d3 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:53
Removed a repeated word in fossil-v-git ... (check-in: b798e89a7e user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:52
Recast the "Anonymous contribution discouraged" point in fossil-v-git as "No easy drive-by contributions". ... (check-in: 73381119d8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:39
Moved the comment about patch files in fossil-v-git down to a footnote and expanded on the point. It isn't a Git vs Fossil difference, but we need to explain why "just use a patch file" isn't a good answer to the common "allow easy drive-by contributions" wish. ... (check-in: 4dcbd09fea user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:47
Correct minor syntax error that was likely never hit. ... (check-in: d85b2edbb6 user: andybradford tags: test-updates)
03:55
If the setting is long enough to fill in the format specifier---like the email-send-relayhost setting---there will be no whitespace after it unless it has a value set, so make the regex handle this particular state better. ... (check-in: a8656f580f user: andybradford tags: test-updates)
03:52
Update list of known settings which had diverged due to newly added features. ... (check-in: 72e71e904d user: andybradford tags: test-updates)
2019-07-18
22:45
Improved documentation of the --https option on "fossil server". ... (check-in: 3c602dd7f3 user: drh tags: trunk)
17:45
In the hierarchical forum display, make sure that the edited post number is displayed, not the original post number. ... (check-in: 776ce9e645 user: drh tags: trunk)
2019-07-17
22:26
Give sequential numbers to all display posts in the forum, and reference other forum posts in a thread by the sequence number. ... (check-in: 5a7267d9e7 user: drh tags: trunk)
21:23
In the hierarchical display of the forum, go back to strict hierarchical indentation. But, reduce the width of indentation for deeply nested discussions. ... (check-in: 0cec52e08e user: drh tags: trunk)
14:52
Added info about fossil undo, fossil amend, and shunning to the fossil-v-git doc, with comparison to the Git way of changing history. ... (check-in: e878d54dcc user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:37
Reworked several sections of the fossil-v-git.wiki doc as sub-sections of "Linux vs. SQLite", which now acts as a frame for those sections. Some of these sections are expanded while others disappear entirely, most especially the "BSD vs GPL" argument that we started off on the now-merged branch to try and refine. We replace a discussion of licensing with one of community structure and our approach to patch acceptance, which is more of what the old licensing discussion was trying to get at without getting into the details of software licensing per se. ... (check-in: 69ec89b591 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-07-16
20:02
Code cleanup: Add a lot of "const" qualifiers for static (string) arrays, where appropriate. This allows the C compiler to optimize more ... (check-in: 70a94d0972 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk)
15:44
Reduced redundancy in the new feature set size vs ease of use discussion in fossil-v-git. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: a52e68459f user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
15:42
When committing without parent-id (additional "initial" commits), make sure the branch-name is set to "trunk" when not provided otherwise. ... (check-in: 0fd6cf166c user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk)
15:05
Rewrote the "Accepting Contributions" section of the fossil-v-git doc to focus on the size of each tool in terms of SLOC and features, rather than on licensing details. ... (check-in: 5fe84e7011 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
14:58
Missing db_end_transaction(0) ... (check-in: b0db865f20 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk)
2019-07-14
21:24
Fix the in-reply-to link for hierarchical forum display to maintain the hierarchical display. Make the link say "previous" if linking to the previous post in the thread. ... (check-in: 1b63ab701b user: drh tags: trunk)
20:32
Try to omit unnecessary indentation on the hierarchical forum display. Include an "in reply to" mark on the hierarchical display. ... (check-in: 97697b7956 user: drh tags: trunk)
12:28
Fixed some grammar errors in fossil-v-git's new "Accepting Contributions" material. ... (check-in: 34d758bf86 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
12:25
Small tweak to prev ... (check-in: d1c61803fc user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
12:24
Turned a redundancy in the "Scale" section of fossil-v-git into a clearer point. Also added a bit on Fossil's later birthday and our take on its consequences. ... (check-in: 30a74d7e05 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
12:12
Renamed named anchor for "Accepting Contributions" in fossil-v-git from "license" to "contrib". ... (check-in: 074b896e57 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
12:11
Re-cast the "BSD vs GPL" section as "Accepting Contributions." In the end, that's what the difference in license amounts to. This makes the section longer, but the change includes a link to skip past the actual licensing discussion for those who don't want to read our attempt at an unbiased discussion of GPL vs BSD, since even if we've succeded, we won't always agree with the user's biases! ... (check-in: 75e93e35b1 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
11:37
Another bit of prose polishing in fossil-v-git ... (check-in: fcdefd97a7 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
11:28
Prose polishing in the "License" section of fossil-v-git ... (check-in: eebd713511 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
11:02
Moved the "BSD vs GPL" section up in the fossil-v-git doc and made it a sub-section of a new "Linux vs SQLite" section which has two other sub-sections: "Development Organization," which contains an expanded version of what used to be called "Cathedral vs. Bazaar" and "Scale," which contains what is left of the prior version's "Linux vs. SQLite" section. These are sub-sections of a common parent because they were mutually repetitive, and they're all aspects of the "Linux vs. SQLite" comparison, not separate things at all. ... (check-in: bab2656d1c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
05:43 Added wiki page "checkin/743e166cf95c86e5de21c3a245113258d820c0c26424dd5a41a7a452087446c3" ... (artifact: c4c48d9c5b user: mistachkin)
04:46
When removing a directory on Windows, make sure it is a real directory (i.e. not a junction, symbolic link, etc). ... (check-in: 9bb25a2862 user: mistachkin tags: trunk)
2019-07-13
19:31
Eliminate all usage of Tcl_GetStringResult(), since that causes loss of Tcl_Obj representation in Tcl 8.x (this is solved in Tcl 9.0) ... (check-in: 743e166cf9 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk)
18:03
Import the command-line tool fix from SQLite (without the other changes on SQLite trunk) and then disable double-quoted string literals again. ... (check-in: 282612762e user: drh tags: trunk)
16:56
Disable the SQLITE_DQS=0 compile-time option. It turns out the ".schema" command in the SQLite CLI makes use of double-quoted string literals. ... (check-in: 05ca5d96c1 user: drh tags: trunk)
14:30
Change the default hash policy to "sha3". Bump the version number to 2.10 to start the next development cycle. ... (check-in: b4520f5efc user: drh tags: trunk)
13:05
Version 2.9 ... (check-in: 0fd79a3e09 user: drh tags: trunk, release, version-2.9)
12:35
Fix a typo in a check-in race warning message. ... (check-in: 66f06fe23b user: drh tags: trunk)
2019-07-12
16:59
Do not invoke db_lget() in the sync protocol if the local checkout database is unavailable (such as when running "fossil all sync"). ... (check-in: 0dba0f4b99 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:43
Typo fix ... (check-in: bd0b86e97d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
16:40
Added "and use" to fossil-v-git: the license has effects that extend beyond design and implementation. ... (check-in: 2cc9036e10 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
16:39
Prose tightening tweak ... (check-in: d2a77c309e user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
16:38
Reduced repeition of the "deisgn and implementation" bits of "Fossil vs Git" in the new "GPL vs BSD" material. ... (check-in: 4f293ddf58 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
16:33
Rewrote the opening paragraph to "GPL vs BSD" in "Fossil vs Git" doc to make it clear that we're not trying to persuade you to make our same choice. Also removed two paragraphs making a judgement about the nature of each license for the same reason. ... (check-in: d48fdb41fb user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
15:46
Moved a sentence from the final paragraph up to the first in the "GPL vs BSD" section of the "Fossil vs. Git" doc. It was something of a non-sequitur where it was, and in its new position, it serves to bookend the discussion: we lay out our proposition at the top and come to a conclusion that we believe supports that proposition by the end. ... (check-in: cb1b007cd5 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
15:41
Removed a final sentence in a paragraph that basically just restated the paragraph in the new Fossil vs Git doc. ... (check-in: f5a39a7e1d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
15:29
Distilled the points about "GPL + CLA = commrecial interests" to only the bits essential to the "Fossil vs Git" argument. ... (check-in: ba1fa73b87 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl)
