| 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: 6a6fd6b9 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: dd65d143 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| ||
| 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. ...

| 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: 87b1385d user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain) | |
| 08:10 | Added a para to the prior section. ... (check-in: 69e0ea54 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain) | |

| 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: 3d55f443 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. 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) | |
| 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: 3ddd56d0 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 16:37 | Added "Restoring From An Encrypted Backup" section to the new backup.md doc. ... (check-in: e0a38eb3 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 14:12 | Fixed another dangling Markdown link ... (check-in: e5ad07dc user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 14:10 | URL fix ... (check-in: 56b13f2a user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 13:59 | Fixed the scp command in the new backup.md doc ... (check-in: e3e4bec3 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 13:45 | Typo fix ... (check-in: 21a63c8c user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 13:16 | Assorted tweaks to the new material in the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 09acf696 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 12:37 | Added the "Autosync is Intransitive" section to the new backup doc. ... (check-in: 1299d677 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 12:24 | A few small refinements to the new backup doc. ... (check-in: ea57a2f7 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: 3ddc1d94 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 12:07 | Added info about private branches to the new backup.md doc. ... (check-in: 78c0c55a user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 11:54 | Added a new doc, "Backing Up a Remote Fossil Repository". ... (check-in: 5c2ef2a2 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 10:18 | Greatly expanded the "Repositories And Checkouts Are Distinct" section of the gitusers.md doc. ... (check-in: 386fc49e user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 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 having on the forum.

| 02:06 | Clarity tweaks to the new "multiple origins" scenario in the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 77bb3e4c user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 01:53 | Small tweaks to previous. ... (check-in: e67c413d 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: e3cef726 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: 2306f816 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: 331dc0d3 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 21:59 | Reflected the GitHub change of "master" to "main" into our gitusers.md doc. ... (check-in: b0ee3d5d 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: 3449d9ce 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: 8da7b15e 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: 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) | |
| 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: a61ac66b user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
