Super cool. Not to hijack this thread but a next step might be to track,
manage, and share items in the file-system that are not actually stored
in the repository database file; an example might be media files or HDF5
dataset files.

In the example use-case of a media file repository, it could be that
Fossil is used to store annotation data such as subtitle files, edit
decision lists, playlists, etc. but it also tracks the origins of the
media files (which user added which file, when, etc.) and how those
media files might be sync'ed (obtain a local copy, omit a local copy,
share the local copy, etc.). The media files themselves would be
unversioned and stored in the traditional file-system.

And not to be too overwhelmingly far out, but at this point one might
begin to imagine that the sync function could be extended with
torrent-like capabilities. (Too much?)
