This seems really cool!! And I love to see alternatives to git. But @[email protected], you need to cool it on the replies. You're making the Fossil community look hostile by association.
I'm not a part of the fossil community, also when none of the people here bother to properly check out the website & call it Ancient or see the why behind the tool & it's development philosphy Yeah that pisses me off (So yeah I'll "cool it" but it makes the GIT-community look like hostile hive)
Why don't you tell me some more about what you like about Fossil... I'm assuming you've used other version control systems - how would you compare the feeling of actually using it in a collaborative workflow? How did you even come across Fossil in the first place?
This is my first time hearing about it, so would love to hear more straight from an actual user.
I imagine the creator envisioned something like a package wiki/docs mixed with direct access to the source code.
It can be carried around in your pocket & has the features of Github but open source Wiki, bug-tracker, ticketting, Forumn & even a chat for devs to use You can self-host it & it even runs on the most crappy internet Best part, it can track what you did in the past & stores in SQLite DB & can import & export to Git
Also I came across it via this blog
I like it even with the obvious flaws it has, plus it can be improved anyways
This thread might be the fastest I've ever seen discussion devolve from "that could be interesting" to just incomprehensible screaming.
These people don't even bother checking out the site & some can't be bothered to scroll to the bottom of the site & can't even read
They only recently were made aware of this tool & within a few seconds they literally go "Muh Bloated" etc......
It's no wonder
Yeah wtf it's like there's like a wolverine loose in the comments section
