Fossil uses an immutable file format. You can't change things using SQL or other actions. http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/fileformat.wiki That said, you can add "Control Artifacts" that change the displayed username for individual check-ins. For an example where this has occurred, see http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/c492eab395 The control artifact that changed the username from "Ratte" to "wolfgang" is http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/7abcd93076 Notice that this same control artifact also changed the displayed comment and the displayed time-of-checkin. The original information for all of the above is retained, of course. Fossil uses the accounting philosophy of "never erase". Changes are merely added as corrections. By similar means, you can also change the branch of a commit after-the-fact. An example of that is this commit: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/7043db15b That check-in was originally in the "pedantic1" branch, but got moved into the "gcw-fast" branch by this control artifact: http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/ec5b4ddebd So there are ways of changing branch names and user names. But they are tedious and probably are not exactly what you are looking for. A better approach might be some kind of user-name alias system whereby each repository can keep a list of aliases for each user and only display their preferred name when any of their aliases are used. Or, the "fossil import" command could be enhanced to do mappings between branch names and user names. > I thought that Fossil users were sent along with the > repository so each copy was fully attributed, but it doesn't appear that > this is the case.
