>Getting Fossil to talk to Git *efficiently* is a problem. The issue is that both Git and Fossil try to exchange information between client and server in its original delta-ed and compressed format. So, essentially, a push or pull operation is only slightly more complicated than an scp. In order to Fossil to speak "Git", it would be necessary to insert a format translator. Thus as information flowed from Fossil to Git, it would be necessary to decompress and decode it all, convert it into the Git format, then recompress and reencode it. That is likely to be quite slow in comparison to doing a blind "scp" type operation. I am still working the problem. But for the moment I am trying to get the "unversioned files" feature going. -- D.
