Using these versions, if you set "PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL" on your repository database (using a recent beta of SQLite) then you will get better concurrency on your server - multiple users can be reading from different versions of the database at the same time and you are far, far less likely to encounter a "busy timeout" error. This might become more important if user "nobody" has "history" permission. > -- > Zed A.
