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
2019-07-14
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
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
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
14:08
Add documentation on the "pragma ci-unlock" message in the sync protocol. check-in: 1eefb8dbec user: drh tags: trunk
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
13:58
Improved error messages when a commit fails due to a lock conflict: Show the age of the lock in addition to the user. Suggest using the new --override-lock option instead of --allow-fork. Expire locks after any successful check-in from the same check-out. check-in: 3a5caa86db user: drh tags: trunk
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
12:37
Fix a typo in the fossil-v-git.wiki document, as reported on the forum. "fossil all status" should be "fossil all changes". check-in: 9b51c42a8b user: drh 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
2019-07-11
13:58
Add missing semicolon in the anti-robot defense javascript. check-in: 4519945883 user: drh tags: trunk
13:10
Minor change to the "aboutdownload" document. check-in: fd8d37e2ab user: drh tags: trunk
12:19
Make sure the backoffice does not try to reuse file descriptors that it has previously closed. check-in: 458ced3535 user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-10
22:19
Add a reference to the idea of a "Conflict-Free Replicated Datatypes" to the sync documentation. check-in: 2b3569d19f user: drh tags: trunk
18:55
Update the built-in SQLite to the 3.29.0 release. check-in: 8c9eeb0151 user: drh tags: trunk
16:22
Back out check-in [a52c3e1256288c7d]. Perhaps the "test-move-repository" command should be promoted to a supported and documented command, but I don't think "local-repo" is the correct name, and in any event, the command needs additional work before it is given first-class status. For example, typing "fossil local-repo" without the 3rd term should show the current repository, not give an error. check-in: aa3f554cff user: drh tags: trunk
03:49
Update custom MinGW makefile. check-in: 1c88ed9bec user: mistachkin tags: trunk
2019-07-08
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
17:11
Fix an apparent bug in the "fossil grep" command causing it to miss the first character of each line. check-in: 5421caa21a user: drh tags: trunk
17:05
Update the built-in SQLite to the first 3.29.0 beta for testing. Enable the -DSQLITE_DQS=0 compile-time option for Fossil, thus preventing SQLite from using double-quoted string literals by default. check-in: 0c0f6db7ba user: drh tags: trunk
2019-07-06
22:27
Update autosetup to 0.6.9-71785c7e and Jim Tcl to 0.78-27-ga5a84b1. Closed-Leaf check-in: 2211bc2a6b user: mistachkin tags: autosetupAndJimTcl
21:42
Update Jim Tcl to 0.78. check-in: 907f66bfd8 user: mistachkin tags: autosetupAndJimTcl
20:29
For the tar / zip web pages, avoid dangling references involving zRid. check-in: dbe16d7bb4 user: mistachkin tags: trunk
2019-07-02
07:31
When activating one of the new "in reply to" links, tag the newly-focused post with CSS class forumSelReplyTo so that it can be visually marked. Added default forumSelReplyTo CSS class which uses the same border as forumTime but with a dotted style. EDIT: do not merge with trunk - there are problems to solve (if feasible) regarding linking to edited posts, as their IDs are of course different, as well as linking responses made to deleted posts. Closed-Leaf check-in: 1bf7985d10 user: stephan tags: forum-reply-links
06:37
Replaced the forum post DIV ids forum{RID} with post-{short-UUID}, which allowed removal of the new A NAME tag and enables permalinks (RIDs are volatile). Added forumPost class to all post DIVs, to hopefully simplify some upcoming JS code. check-in: 69364ba515 user: stephan tags: forum-reply-links
05:53
Switched Immediately-Invoked Function Expression parentheses from Crockford-style to the more conventional/portable style. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9053842/ for details. check-in: 5d9d62d818 user: stephan tags: trunk
04:45
Per request in forumpost/9fd5135acc, added intra-document links to each response which link back to the being-replied-to post within the same page (using an #anchor-tag), without reloading from the server. check-in: 78721d4aa0 user: stephan tags: forum-reply-links
2019-07-01
13:38
Improvements to the help-text for /brlist. check-in: 611fe9b078 user: drh tags: trunk
13:19
Add a new test-case in the graph test for the /leaves page. check-in: 3bc1a0e80e user: drh tags: trunk
09:30
Improved layout of graphs with the TIMELINE_DISJOINT property, such as the list of leaves. check-in: 4fc08f94fc user: drh tags: trunk
2019-06-30
11:36
Rename the --save-password option on "fossil clone" to --save-http-password, since it only works for HTTP. check-in: 22517bab6c user: drh tags: trunk
04:27
Update the change log and the sync protocol documentation for the new check-in locking mechanism that tries to prevent race-condition forks. check-in: 2d7a8a832f user: drh tags: trunk
03:38
In the "fossil diff" command, the use of --tclsh implies --tk. check-in: 2655a2d405 user: drh tags: trunk
2019-06-29
10:21
Add the --tclsh command to "fossil diff" in order to specify an alternative TCL interpreter. check-in: 9fc945c056 user: drh tags: trunk
03:17
Steps to prevent accidental forks during a commit when two users try to commit to the same parent at the same time. The first user to do the autosync pull takes a lock which causes the second user to get a "would fork" error, unless the --allow-fork or --force options are used. check-in: 03cc332938 user: drh tags: trunk
03:14
Add the --save-password option to "fossil clone". Put the command-line options for "fossil clone" in alphabetical order. check-in: 421e6bb333 user: drh tags: trunk
03:13
For "fossil clone help", put options in alphabetical order. Closed-Leaf check-in: d5c6f4784e user: drh tags: save-http-url-password
03:11
Change the name of the option to just --save-password. check-in: 76e158ad57 user: drh tags: save-http-url-password
03:08
Enhance the "fossil tag ls" command to allow filtering by tag type. check-in: 971a1a99dd user: drh tags: trunk
2019-06-28
07:23
Added the --save-http-url-password option to the clone command to make it skip the "remember password (Y/n)?" prompt if the password was given in an HTTP URL. We avoid this for ssh:// URLs since you have pre-shared keys, SSH agents, and such to avoid the need in that case. Without this feature, you can't script around it by piping "echo y" through the command because the "remember password" feature as of trunk only works when isatty(0), which will be false when Fossil is downstream from a pipe like that. check-in: 2600b7719f user: wyoung tags: save-http-url-password
2019-06-27
23:37
Small fixes to branching.wiki check-in: cdd5e576dd user: wyoung tags: trunk
23:12
Assorted improvements to the new material in www/branching.wiki, mainly in the way of clarifications and moderation of tone. check-in: 862b77b69a user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:39
Upgrade to openssl 1.1.1c. Use single-argument "expr" in auto.def. Update custom mingw makefile. check-in: 5050132815 user: jan.nijtmans tags: trunk
03:54
Because the sync status updates all occur on the same line make this client warning show up on its own line so the output doesn't get cluttered. Closed-Leaf check-in: 82d69e7fae user: andybradford tags: no-race-commit
2019-06-22
16:57
Enhance the "fossil tag ls" command to allow filtering by tag type. Closed-Leaf check-in: 2d3025adee user: andybradford tags: taglist-tagtype
14:54
When doing a commit with autosync enabled, the first autosync now takes a temporary (24-hour) lock on the baseline commit in order to prevent any other connected user from simultaneously committing and creating an accidental fork. check-in: 222fc68119 user: drh tags: no-race-commit
03:46
More clarifications in the "How Can Forks Divide Development Effort?" section of branching.wiki, primarily in explaining how each user in the example arrives at the view shown in the swim lane diagram. There were multiple implicit possilibities before, and some were misinterpreting it. check-in: 70a7db80f5 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-06-21
13:19
Gave Users A thru E human names, and humanized their story a bit in the branching.wiki article. check-in: 2ac5bc3c30 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:58
Moved check-ins 3 and later right in the Figure 6 swim lane diagram within branching.wiki so that there is only one event at each time step. As previously drawn, it implied that check-ins 2 and 3 occurred at the same time, but that's neither true nor necessary to our point here. Also evened up the lane widths. check-in: 856c95654b user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:41
Fixed an alignment problem in Figure 6 of branching.wiki, and clarified the "back online" step in User C's lane. check-in: 8c44fd2baa user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:26
Typo fix check-in: eed1ff610b user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:20
Better internal links in www/branching.wiki to the new "How Can Forks Divide Development Effort?" section. Also added a Wikipedia link for "DVCS". check-in: ed44752990 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:09
Clarified User C's view of the bad-fork situation in branching.wiki. check-in: 8a794a5dab user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:04
More clarity improvements and typo fix in branching.wiki check-in: c16f7cb67c user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:01
Typo fix check-in: d696febb04 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:57
Small tweaks to previous check-in: 6c2cf0571a user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:50
Clarified the "it doesn't matter how or why" in the previous check-in. check-in: 9aec171853 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:45
Added "How Can Forks Divide Development Effort?" section to www/branching.wiki. check-in: efb104bbb1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-06-20
17:02
Replaced a mailing list reference with a forum link (reported by a forum user). check-in: 8ddeb17d86 user: stephan tags: trunk
16:46
Put --allow-fork back into the fossil ci "would fork" message. Everyone's unhappy now. :) check-in: acb5324c79 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:40
Removed "The Author's Voice" from www/branching.wiki due to multiple complaints. check-in: 1926d1d5b3 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:32
Added new section, "The Authors' Voice" to www/branching.wiki. Other assorted improvements as well. check-in: 2da109981a user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:30
Markdownism fix in a Wiki-formatted doc check-in: cbca374c37 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:10
Added the section "Fixing Forks" to www/branching.wiki, and added an explanatory paragraph about the intentionality of forking. check-in: 2686bad19a user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-06-19
18:45
Added a new section, "Branch Names Need Not Be Unique" to www/branching.wiki. check-in: 42bfe9362a user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:24
Added a link to https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/branching.wiki#branching from the recent changes to the fossil ci "would fork" error message. *Hopefully* this will end the debate. check-in: b761a72922 user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:09
Several expansions on the new points in www/branching.wiki check-in: bf048cd576 user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:01
Typo fix check-in: 184cf2087a user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:59
Fixed a command in the previoius checkin check-in: d5e1e113ef user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:58
More expansion on the discussion of creating branches in Fossil, especially in the second-form commands, which were incomplete in the prior version. check-in: 7391166893 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:41
Added the key distinction ("A branch is a named, intentional fork") to www/branching.wiki and added info on actually creating branches. check-in: 1e0cf46762 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:33
Added a generaliation of the prior edit to www/branching.wiki check-in: 3cc437a50f user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:13
Expanded on the discussion of forking vs branching in www/branching.wiki. check-in: b882c62386 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:58
Removed other Figures' graphs from www/branch0*.graphml left from the breaking up of www/branching.graphml. check-in: e3c55977e2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:57
Removed www/branching.graphml: that was accidentally checked in. (The diagrams started out in a single yEd document, but I later decided to make them separate documents, and forgot to remove this from the local filesystem before saying "fossil add www/bra*".) check-in: 85da145ecb user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:56
Fixed numbering of node 6 in the new SVG/yEd branching diagrams. check-in: 5011b20264 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:22
Replaced the GIFs in www/branching.wiki with yEd diagrams and SVGs exported from them. This allows scalability on various screen sizes, avoids crunchy pixelated edges, allows editing, and saves space on the wire. check-in: 00aded1601 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-06-18
01:48
Partial walk-back of [66d55e9b43]: instead of simply removing the recommendation to pass --allow-fork to fossil checkin to solve the "would fork" problem, recommend instead that the user create a new branch with --branch. That advice causes Fossil to create a named branch rather than a nameless branch -- well, *duplicate-named*, anyway -- which is easier to cope with and doesn't make all the other Fossil instances in an organization start griping about unresolved forks. Only the user who created the named fork is bothered with creating and resolving the fork in this mode of operation. check-in: 8dcf4ffce1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2019-06-17
07:09
The touch command no longer treats missing files as a fatal error, instead emitting a warning message. check-in: 56530e9b6d user: stephan tags: trunk
