Fossil's design is not only to make it painful, but impossible, to remove old data. Mistakes are painful - that's why we learn from them. To work against a given software's internal assumptions/laws of physics generally leads to pain and suffering. From what i understand, git will quite happily let you remove whatever you want (and afterwards you might even be able to still access the other data, too). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
