Conversely, construct a full 'user <emailaddr>' Git committer string for commits when using 'fossil git export' by querying the new 'fx_git' table if it exists, or the 'info' column in the 'user' table.

13:25
Rename the "style_body_and_footer()" interface to "style_finish_page()" and add a more detailed header comment to the implementation. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 942b2076 user: drh tags: default-css-cleanups)

09:15
Point that a two-way git mirror is not the same as re-importing an exported tree although it would be easy to get confused. A two-way mirror is impossible, but thanks to recent commits, re-importing works fine. ... (check-in: 97959c89 user: danshearer tags: trunk)
2020-11-05
23:49
The CSS rule cleanups in [064c677a70] were mistargeting their elements now that their selector's parent piece is not their immediate parent. ... (check-in: a46b4ceb user: wyoung tags: default-css-cleanups)

23:15
Added a parameter to style_footer() and renamed it to match its actual function (style_body_and_footer()) so we can add a CSS class to each page that indicates which major Fossil feature served the page, so we can have module-specific CSS. ... (check-in: ef5424b6 user: wyoung tags: default-css-cleanups)
22:34
Moved a comment down in src/style.c and removed a part of it that seems to refer to inline CSS that's since moved to style.css. ... (check-in: a040a5d2 user: wyoung tags: default-css-cleanups)
22:32

22:16
Assorted cleanups in skins/default/css.txt: reordered styles so like elements are grouped together, added separator comments to try and prevent this drift from happening again, and made the spacing consistent with the www/style.wiki rules.

18:10

11:25
Clarify that a legitimate reason for removing data is receiving a legitimate legal request, as per https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/bbfb0e910e. Add the exception for non-versioned data (ie "fossil scrub"). This may need to be explained better. ... (check-in: 1001d867 user: danshearer tags: trunk)
03:08
Another attempt at addressing forum critiques about the gitusers doc's Case Study 1. Also had to update the example date we're searching for again, so I addeed a paragraph explaining why the example might break again. ... (check-in: 278a2b74 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:10
Reworked sections 2.7 and 2.8 in fossil-v-git to be clearer about history rewriting: commit + autosync vs. commit + push, rebase + drop vs. shunning, etc. ... (check-in: 18fc6971 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2020-11-04
15:45
Flipped the examples in Case Study 1 in gitusers.md around so we approach the problem the same way the SO answer did. Also changed the target date, since on my local Git clone, the prior date is now giving me a non-merge commit for some reason.

14:25
More gitusers.md doc improvements: promoted the "detached HEAD state" paragraph in Case Study 1 to a new section; clarified "fossil update" vs "fossil checkout" in relation to "git checkout"; applied forum feedback on Case Study 1. ... (check-in: 7e03f7b4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

09:04
Small tweaks to previous ... (check-in: 749d919a user: wyoung tags: trunk)

05:20
Moved the "What Changed?" section of gitusers.md up into the "Log" section since "git whatchanged" is approximately the same as "git log --raw", so they should be covered near each other.

04:17

00:34
Added the "Git Worktrees" section to the gitusers doc, which acts as a complement to the "multiple check-out directories" section of the new ckout-workflow.md doc. It gives us a place to talk about git-worktree and git clone --separate-git-dir. ... (check-in: 31f8a835 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2020-11-01
23:59
Moved the "Checkout Workflows" section of the gitusers doc up so we can shorten the section intro, and added brief comparisons between Fossil and Git specifically here, since the new ckout-workflows doc glosses those points now. ... (check-in: f2c5ab91 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Updated the gitusers.md doc title in the index. ... (check-in: 13f8eb09 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

23:35

23:09
Applied a variant of drh's fix to the label spacing in the "museum" directory tree diagram in the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 54001a4e user: wyoung tags: trunk)

20:45
More compiler warning fixes. ... (check-in: 4c91a911 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:44
Fix a harmless compiler warning. ... (check-in: 2ba5ddb9 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:37

20:22
Added the "Init In Place" section to the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: b564baa6 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

20:06
Enhance the clone command so that if it includes either the "--workdir DIR" option, or if omits the local repository filename argument, and if the "--no-open" option is omitted, then the repository is opened after it is cloned. Hence the command "fossil clone https://whatever.com/x/y/repo" works more like Git in that it first clones into "repo.fossil" then opens the new repository in the "repo" subdirectory. ... (check-in: a8d78787 user: drh tags: trunk)
19:27
Added the "Summary Line Convention In Commit Comments" section to the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 46a30e7e user: wyoung tags: trunk)

18:06
Several refinements to the backup.md doc, the most substantive of which is that it now warns that even the second method doesn't inherently solve the stale-repo problem in distributed cloning networks. ... (check-in: 8a539f14 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:52
Using `fossil sql --no-repository` instead of `sqlite3` in the restore step of backup.md. ... (check-in: ff7cedfe user: wyoung tags: trunk)

00:20
For the graph drawing routines, make the graph row identifier a 64-bit integer type to avoid the possibility of integer overflow in /finfo where the row ids are a composite of the blob.rid and filename.fnid and hence might become large for repositories with many files and many check-ins. ...

18:24
Improvements to /finfo: Show all file rename events. The "rid" for each timeline entry must be a combination of the file-id "fid" and the filename-id "fnid" since either one of those two might change which should result in a new entry on the timeline. ... (check-in: 8c598d72 user: drh tags: trunk)
14:37
Use the new multi-recursive-term capability of CTEs in SQLite to fix the /finfo clade calculation, and to make /finfo run about 5x faster. ... (check-in: 47bfea07 user: drh tags: trunk)

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. ...

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. This depends on the prior CAP theorem doc, since part of the argument for Fossil not being a blockchain gets us down into those weeds.

EDIT: Moving it to a branch because we're still arguing the point on the forum. ... (check-in: 855578b6 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain)

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 having on the forum.

Clarity pass on the rebaseharm doc following the recent Hacker News thread, to address confusions that came up there. ... (check-in: 068e26af 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. Therefore, this point is a distraction from the main argument. Besides, we already cover it as fossil-v-git.wiki#testing. ... (check-in: 6e0dba25 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
