I downloaded the lastest Windows fossil build tonight and am giving DVCS
another shot. Some notes:

1. I like the fact that I could --date-override the initial create date
stamp.
1a. I wish that I could --date-override a commit at the command line so
that I didn't have to edit the date stamp via the web interface later.
1b. If you don't type the date stamp format just right, fossil will crash
trying to display the time line in the web interface. In my case I typed
"8:12:23" instead of "08:12:23" for the edited time, omitting the leading 0.

2. I am color blind. The color coding of bullet points in the "Edit User"
pages explaining which marks indicate what is practically worthless to me
(I spent a while staring at them trying to figure out what the difference
was; I'm not complaining, it's just my burden, and I'm fortunately to not
have worse burdens, really). I mention this only as a usability issue for
someone to consider. I really don't know what would be better, and hate to
be one of those people that sounds like "accommodate my disability even
though it works for most people just fine!" Some obvious alternatives that
pop into my head are to use multiple bullet shapes instead of just color
coding the same shape or to use subscript or superscript digits or some
such.

3. I would be happy to take a stab at modifying the source to implement the
stuff above, and I understand there is some sort of copyright assignment or
waiver form to be filled out... If someone could forward that my way I
would appreciate it.
