Joshua, I just exported my SVN working copy to a new folder using TortoiseSVN. It was pretty simple to add that export to a new Fossil repo. Now actually using it was more confusing... :-)
Space isn't the biggest factor, but psychologically the users I support don't want everything on their computers. They want their folders they are working with and that's it. And since only a few people really need/should have access to everything, we had to structure our SVN repo to make sure the layout let them create a working copy with only what they needed. Most users blow away the working copy when their code is incorporated into the mainline and create a new one for the next issue. If I could convince someone on the server side to let me set up Fossil like Clearcase, with each repository resembling a vob in Clearcase, that might be interesting but not something I have time to even try right now. I have used the msys git but I'd rather find a new job than try to implement it with 150 engineers, 143 of whom hate command line tools. (Okay, I made that up but it's close.) I don't know if it was Bazaar or Mercurial that made it easy to cherry pick the files but every six months or so I try to go out and look to see what's changed in the VCS world. I'm glad I did, because like I said - I plan on using Fossil at home for my personal projects. A quick question for those who have been using Fossil for awhile. How hard would it be to emulate something like Flashbake? http://boingboing.net/2009/02/13/flashbake-free-versi.html Terry
