Hiho,

i've actually been programming in C today, back-porting in the zip fix into
libfossil, and i had an idea...

The G ("generator" or "generated by") card is an optional manifest card
with a single fossil-encoded string value. It is intended to hold the name,
including version, of the app which generated the manifest (but it may
include arbitrary text, including data like a URL):

G libfossil-<uuid...>
or
G fossil\s1.34\s<uuid...>

Fossil would place no meaning on the card: it would be skipped, except to
verify that not more than 1 G-card is set. It's purpose ("the problem it
solves," if it can be called a problem at all) is purely informational, and
then only if one goes digging through raw manifests.

If there's interest, i'll commit to adding it. i'd need my fossil server to
support it before libfossil could add support for it.

:-?
