I have had to use Git for something this semester. It was mostly a failure and I'll find a way to use fossil going forward.
That said, I noticed one feature of Git that was very useful, and I'd love to see in Fossil. In Git, you can have a .gitignore file in any directory and it applies to that directory and nested sub-directories. This is very handy, especially for build directories and executables. For example, if I have a directory where I'm working on a program foo.c, I can (and do) exclude *.o in my .ignore-glob, but I don't really want to put "foo" there because I might have a file foo in another directory that I *do* want in the repo. If I could put "foo" in a .fossil-ignore file - in that particular directory - that would be very convenient. It would also be useful in a target directory (for Rust/cargo) or a _build directory (for Elixir/mix), where the only file you'd add to the repo would be the .fossil-ignore, where you'd put "*" so that nothing would be added. I think this would be a nice little project for someone who wants to delve into the fossil codebase. I would, but I'm *way* over-committed at the moment. ../Dave
