I don't think there is any difference between vac and what fossil uses, just where it appears in the hierarchy (though maybe I am wrong).
Fossil adds a fixed upper layer of hierarchy active dump <year> <month><mday> snap <year> <month><mday> <hour><min> The difficulty is how to convince fossil to install a score into its hierarchy as though its one that it created. I am pretty sure this is doable, it just needs a rather deep understanding of how fossil works and when I tried to do it I discovered fossil is really rather complex. -Steve
