Hi, all,

Wikipedia says that DRH "is the architect and primary author of SQLite as
well as Fossil SCM."

Which begs the question (before i go editing Wikipedia), which is more
correct: "Fossil SCM" or "the Fossil SCM"?

The latter sounds more natural to me, even though "the" doesn't really
appear to be applicable. We don't say "the sqlite," "the Windows," or "the
Mac," so why does "the Fossil SCM" feel more intuitive to me? (And yet we
do say "the Window Manager.")

:-?
