And it is able to import Git revision history using the "fossil import" command. I tested the export capabilities by translating the Fossil and SQLite repositories into Git. And I tested the import function by translating the Git repository into Fossil. These two new commands (import and export) are early prototypes. They surely still contain bugs and lack needed features. But I think they provide a good start toward an import/export capability for Fossil. To convert Fossil into Git: git init fdemo cd fdemo fossil export ~/fossil.fossil | git fast-import To convert Git into Fossil: git fast-export --signed-tag=strip --tag-of-filtered-object=drop --all | fossil import git.fossil Please send bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement to this mailing list, or directly to me.
