CAUTION: The low-level Fossil file format is stable and will not change. But the PLINK table is a computed value that is not part of the permanent file format and is thus subject to change. We have no plans of changing the PLINK table, but we reserve the right to do so in the future if the need arises. The only way to get information from the PLINK table is to open the repository file using SQLite and read it using SQL. There are no Fossil commands for extracting the DAG in a machine-readable format. Can you suggest a command to accomplish this? > 2) On the mailing list I have noticed an undocumented feature: the > capability > to show diffs from two arbitrary commits (http://127.0.0.1: > 8080/projectname/vdiff?from=b7ea110444&to=trunk&detail=1).
