I am prepared to believe you but I can see how tone and content might make people believe that. > It is "Reductio ad absurdum" that proves D. Richard Hipp is wrong in > his statement. It isn't, and it doesn't. Your extrapolation introduces factors which were not originally there. > Solving technical problems by high-handed methods is wrong by definition. It is not a technical problem. Fossil is a loosely-connected distributed system, and what happens with forks is a consequence of that. Any technical way of preventing them or dealing with them automatically will make fossil something other than what it was intended to be. The answer does lie in choosing appropriate working practices (workflow if you like), and if making those choices ends up looking "high-handed" then by all means suggest alternative working practices, and even changes to fossil to help with them, but not changes which contradict the basic principles of the software.
