| 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 | |

| 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 licensi... check-in: 69ec89b591 user: wyoung 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 | |
| 15:05 | 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 | |

| 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, ... 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" se... check-in: bab2656d1c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |

| 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 | |
| 14:53 | Applied rewording suggested in https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/1af94ddea9 check-in: 840f2b3929 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 14:51 | Toned down the "corporate overlord" stuff in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 133927979c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 14:43 | Changed "pneumatic ratchet wrench" to "impact wrench" and added a Wikipedia link to make an analogy clearer in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 6e3383467c user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 14:15 | Clarified the consequences of a CLA on Fossil and on FOSS projects in general in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: fffa67693d user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 13:58 | Clarity tweak to the "why CLA + BSD" justification in the "Fossil vs Git" doc. check-in: 633830fe17 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 13:57 | Better text justifying the use of a CLA in conjunction with the GPL in the "Fossil vs Git" article. check-in: 838c9efec8 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 13:25 | Merged in Linux vs SQLite stuff from trunk check-in: f5321731f9 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 13:24 | Clarified the scale of the Linux vs SQLite projects in the same-named section of the Git vs Fossil doc, tightened up the discussion a bit, and added hard SLOC stats to ground it all. Most controversially, added the rattle wrench analogy. check-in: 69e7827d26 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 05:03 | Grammar fix to previous check-in: 7cfe191bf1 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 04:57 | Rewrote the "GPL vs. BSD" section in www/fossil-v-git.wiki. See forum post here for justification and discussion: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/3239c30fff check-in: 68a7563ec7 user: wyoung tags: bsd-vs-gpl | |
| 04:11 | Assorted improvements to www/fossil-v-git.wiki: added hyperlinks, fixed some spelling, capitalization, and grammar problems, clarified "Linux" vs "Linux kernel", clarified the description of the git-worktree feature, moved punctuation inside double quotes (typography), and added a few detail paragraphs. check-in: fd990128dd user: wyoung tags: trunk | |

| 19:14 | Renamed the test-move-repository command to local-repo, since it's useful for more than just testing, and there's no good alternative in the main command set otherwise. It is especially useful with local-only repos, since that means use of the sync and remote-url commands isn't the correct way to change the location of the local repo. check-in: a52c3e1256 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
