27 check-ins using file src/main.c version 1585ea0897

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

07:07
Removed an extraneous space from pikchrshow DOM output. pikchr command error output now prepends a newline to pikchr-level errors to keep line number comment alignment intact for the first line. check-in: c3b2671f6d user: stephan tags: trunk
06:59
pikchr_process() now makes use of the as-yet-not-public PIKCHR_PLAINTEXT_ERRORS flag to maintain control of the error output DOM structure. check-in: ce3046290b user: stephan tags: trunk
05:39
Increase maximum token size in Pikchr to 50000 bytes. Important for macros. check-in: da1ff5c2d1 user: drh tags: trunk
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

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
11:25
Change instances of %s(g.zTop) into %R. check-in: a40e8a0934 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-04
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... Closed-Leaf check-in: 2907721acd user: wyoung tags: prefer-mprintf-r
