[fossil-users] [ANN] fhg: a Mercurial/fossil synchroniser

2013-12-22 Thread David Given
This isn't really baked yet, but I'm off on holiday tomorrow and when I get back I start a (highly prestigious!) new job, so I won't be able to touch this for a while. fhg is a bidirectional, incremental Mercural/fossil synchroniser. It'll push changes in both directions between a Mercurial

[fossil-users] Question on repo size after repeated binary file commits?

2013-12-22 Thread sky5walk
I am curious what is stored in the repo for each new commit that includes a tiny change to a binary file. Whether a dll or an image file, is fossil storing each binary file compressed, uncompressed or some sort of delta? Over time(6mo's to 1yr), I would like to reduce my repo size by purging

Ah, is there a way to quantify the binary delta? If I have a 1MB binary file and commit a 1 byte change, what is the size of the computed binary delta? You are correct of course, but I tend not to extend the spirit of fossil to binary files and images. It is their existence and not legacy that is

Thanks. I didn't know how binary was handled given the Timeline diff response = cannot compute difference between binary files. I think it would be cool if instead fossil listed some of the metrics used or determined in the binary delta operation. Thanks for Fossil! On Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 2:51

Really, I am only implying some minimal file statistic like 'DeltaSize(%)' or somesuch to show the user it is in fact compared internally. The current message contradicts what is in fact happening. Maybe change that message to Cannot visually display binary diffs. DeltaSize(%) = -10. On Sun, Dec
