FWIW, I'm thinking I should rename the "import" command to "git-import" - in
order to allow future expansion with other import schemes. Similarly,
"export" should be renamed "git-export". Or, maybe there is a secondary
command to specify the target, for example:
fossil import git
fossil import svn
fossil import hg
And so forth.... Thoughts?

I was not real clear what should be done with those tags, so I stripped off
all but the last component of the tag. Is that not the right thing to do?
Please explain....

SQLite has a great full-text search engine built in. I've long thought that
it would be great to add an interface to this in Fossil. We could index
diffs for all check-ins, all wiki, all tickets, all Blog entries, etc, and
then have a Google-like interface for searching for things. Of course, the
full text index would likely double the size of the repository file, but in
this era of TB-size disk drives, is that really an issue?
It's really more of a matter of finding the time to do the necessary
hacking....
