People use DVCS not only in the scenarios of lost-connection-to-a-central-server. Here, most of the time, we have a connection to it. fossil autosync is also related to that. Having locks helps a lot managing binary files in a team, I'm sure of that. And having DVCS implementing them so they work well in the connected-to-the-server scenario sounds very good. I just did not have the need of them, but I might some day. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
