But this requires issuing those orders in a shell, and that means writing per-platform go code, instead of a simple 'universal' exec.Cmd. Because Windows may have cmd, command, ... Others may have flavours of 'sh', ... If not using a shell, 'cd' will affect the working directory of the process, or has to be done after forking, before execing fossil, ... This is already much more complicated than what has been required until now. Imagine you have a C program, and no shell. The formula that worked for the other VCS just doesn't work for fossil. I will try to do all the new code required for that, but I doubt it will be accepted easily. And the lack of the command to check an upstream server will also make my patch look even worse, compared to the code that was there.
