| 03:15 | Covered the difference between "git log" and "fossil timeline" in the gitusers doc; made several other improvements while in there. check-in: f6ad6fb179 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
|
2020-10-29
| ||
| 19:18 | Fixed a use of "above" in a document to refer to text that was later moved to another document entirely. We now link to that doc instead. check-in: 6a6fd6b911 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 19:07 | Reworked the "Clones and Backups" section of www/caps/admin-v-setup.md now that we have www/backup.md. check-in: dd65d143c3 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |

| 19:56 | More clarifications to cryptocurrencies vs the Fossil "blockchain". check-in: 26005b81bf user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 19:45 | Several clarity improvements to the discussion of cryptocurrencies in blockchain.md. check-in: 70523a718c user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 03:14 | • Edit [a9dcda5dfdbca29d|a9dcda5dfd]: Add propagating "hidden". Mark "Closed". Edit check-in comment. artifact: 034e4a4eb1 user: wyoung | |
|
2020-10-11
| ||
| 06:51 | Greatly expanded the simple definition of "blockchain" in the eponymous doc to include more details of common blockchain implementations to draw clearer parallels. This causes our conclusion to flip around from the prior version of this doc, but it's worth keeping the doc because it serves to compare and contrast Fossil to other systems. check-in: 1ddb400886 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
|
2020-10-08
| ||
| 08:48 | Drew better analogies between Bitcoin's answer to the 51% attack and to GitHub in the new Anonymity section of the blockchain doc to show that Fossil doesn't even try to provide the sorts of behavior that allow fully anonymous contribution to a blockchain. Closed-Leaf check-in: 87b1385dac user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 08:10 | Added a para to the prior section. check-in: 69e0ea54a7 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 08:00 | Added the "Anonymity" section to the new blockchain doc. check-in: b357dc2b03 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 07:04 | Small clarity fix in the new CAP theorem doc check-in: 8a9facbb3e user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 06:42 | All but rewrote the Cryptocurrency section of the new blockchain.md doc to clarify the sorts of frauds each system has to prevent so that we can draw clearer analogies. check-in: 154d848d2e user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 04:11 | Merged trunk changes in check-in: 95203913c0 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 04:11 | Added fragment identifiers to the new CAP theorem doc. check-in: 991b089925 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
|
2020-10-07
| ||
| 00:29 | Removed several weak arguments from the blockchain.md doc and added a lot more info about cryptocurrencies to show the differences between them and Fossil. Tweaked much of the preexisting material. check-in: 3d55f44376 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
|
2020-10-06

| 12:24 | • Edit [855578b61091c49d|855578b610]: Move to branch fossil-as-blockchain. Edit check-in comment. artifact: f588ed4fa6 user: wyoung | |
|
2020-10-05
| ||
| 18:15 | Recast the blockchain.md doc as "Is Fossil a Blockchain?" (answer: mostly no) and updated all references to it to either remove the term, use "repository" instead where that's sufficiently clear, or to say either "Merkle tree" or "hash tree" instead where we need to distinguish the hash tree itself from the rest of the repo DB file's contents. ... check-in: 855578b610 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain | |
| 17:02 | Added a new doc, "Fossil and the CAP Theorem." It distills some good info from the forum, so we can just point at it instead of recapitulating it. But it's being checked in now because an upcoming commit will refer to it. check-in: 3ddd56d0b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 16:37 | Added "Restoring From An Encrypted Backup" section to the new backup.md doc. check-in: e0a38eb3eb user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 14:12 | Fixed another dangling Markdown link check-in: e5ad07dcf6 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 14:10 | URL fix check-in: 56b13f2a3c user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 13:59 | Fixed the scp command in the new backup.md doc check-in: e3e4bec360 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 13:55 | Another typo fix in the backup.md doc check-in: eb34dd52e2 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 13:45 | Typo fix check-in: 21a63c8c88 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 13:16 | Assorted tweaks to the new material in the gitusers doc. check-in: 09acf696d2 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 12:37 | Added the "Autosync is Intransitive" section to the new backup doc. check-in: 1299d67786 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 12:24 | A few small refinements to the new backup doc. check-in: ea57a2f723 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 12:08 | Greatly expanded the "Autosync" section of the gitusers doc. Among other things, it now references the new backup.md doc. check-in: 3ddc1d9458 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 12:07 | Added info about private branches to the new backup.md doc. check-in: 78c0c55a41 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 11:54 | Added a new doc, "Backing Up a Remote Fossil Repository". check-in: 5c2ef2a2e3 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 10:18 | Greatly expanded the "Repositories And Checkouts Are Distinct" section of the gitusers.md doc. check-in: 386fc49e3f user: wyoung tags: trunk | |

| 14:37 | • Edit [2907721acd547b3e|2907721acd]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: b6b1593715 user: wyoung | |
| 14:35 | Exchanged most uses of %s(g.zTop) and such in the code with use of %R in Fossil's special printf() type functions. (The branch is named after just one of several of these, mprintf(), being one of the shortest names.) At the least, this is shorter, simpler code, but there is also some hope that it may fix some doubled slash problems someone is...

| 02:06 | Clarity tweaks to the new "multiple origins" scenario in the gitusers doc. check-in: 77bb3e4c33 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 01:53 | Small tweaks to previous. check-in: e67c413d50 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 01:38 | Added a new "multiple origin servers" section to the gitusers doc to replace the obsolete one just removed. This not only shows off Fossil's new "fossil remote add" feature set, it acts as a sort of white paper comparing Git to Fossil in a common use case scenario. check-in: e3cef726f2 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 01:35 | Expanded on several points in the gitusers doc, added links to other docs, added named anchors to all of the top-level sections, and removed the obsolete section on "no multiple remotes" now that we have the "fossil remote add" feature. check-in: 2306f8164d user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
|
2020-10-02
| ||
| 22:11 | Clarified and expanded the "create branches at point of need" section of the gitusers.md doc. check-in: 331dc0d334 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 21:59 | Reflected the GitHub change of "master" to "main" into our gitusers.md doc. check-in: b0ee3d5d75 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 20:28 | Changed the name of docs at the end of the quickstart doc to match their actual titles. check-in: 3449d9cee9 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 20:25 | Converted obsolete anchors in the quickstart doc to fragment identifiers on the headers, and added fragment IDs to all of the h2 level headers that lacked one. check-in: 8da7b15e71 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |

2020-10-01
| ||
| 21:21 | Clarity pass on the rebaseharm doc following the recent Hacker News thread, to address confusions that came up there. check-in: 068e26af37 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 20:59 | Removed point 4.0 from the rebaseharm doc: it said that rebase is a problem because Git makes the change immediately to the blockchain, but that's a problem with Git in general, due to its commit-then-push model, not a problem with rebase in particular. If Fossil had a rebase feature, there is no good reason to believe we would do this as well. The... check-in: 6e0dba257b user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
| 20:37 | The rebaseharm.md doc referred to rebase04.svg *twice*, so while all SVGs associated with the doc were replaced, the second became a broken link when the SVG files were removed. Simply duplicating the code with comments to try to stave off version drift for now. check-in: a61ac66b63 user: wyoung tags: trunk | |
