Hey folks.
So far, most of my Fossil use has been on projects I own almost
exclusively. However, I'm about to start working on projects with a
community, and while I'm going to push Fossil adoption hard, I may get
some pushback from Git users. Is it possible to use Fossil in a workflow
with people who would rather use Git/Github? IOW, can I make Fossil my
official project source but periodically push updates to Github, then
import the results of people's contributions into the official repo?
I see an incremental option for import. I'm guessing this helps with
that? Can I just incrementally import the latest changes from Git
repositories? I'm guessing this just adds in changesets from Git that
aren't present in Fossil?
I don't see a symmetric option in the export command. Do I just have to
keep exporting the full repository each time? I'm guessing that the
exports should be identical such that when I go to push the new export
to Github, that it won't look like an entirely new repo.
Hoping that I can push Fossil adoption for these projects, but I'm
worried that I'll have to use the lowest common denominators in these
communities, and in this case that will be Git. In that case, I'd really
rather build the project/site in Fossil, then win people over when they
realize that their Fossil clone of the project includes the wiki,
ticketing system, etc. and their Git pulls don't. :)
