I had started thinking along similar lines, and I just realized that git seems to be becoming a vital utility for Fossil. The export/import cycle appears to be useful in multiple scenarios encountered by Fossil users. There has also been much discussion about adding git-like features to Fossil.
Would it be useful to think of Fossil becoming a git fork, where the core git functionality (at the capability level) is sandwiched between a low-level database and the high-level Fossil UI? If Fossil and git get any closer, they'll be family.

Sorry for the brevity - typing on a phone on an over-full train. I think that dumping to a git fast export format and then writing scripts to manipulate the fast import data or importing to git, doing what needs to be done, then re-importing to fossil might be a good strategy for what you want. It won't help you with the tickets or other fossil specific data. I believe it is a loss-less process. I was able to slice and dice a large number of monotone db's into fossil db's using this approach. ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal On Jul 5, 2012 7:52 AM, "Mohd Radzi Ibrahim" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 12:17 PM, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: With help of some scripting and SQL, you can find all UUIDs for files that you want to remove and shun them. after that when you rebuild, your repo file will be shrunk.
