Not entirely. It's mainly (or largely) to avoid accidental forks. Early on
in the project we had accidental forks relatively often (fossil used to
fork automatically, but no longer does). Turning on autosync removes 90%+
of those cases.

So, I'm wondering, do you:

In some cases we look look over the diffs as they come in or before an
official release, but we have no standard practice/process for it.

Richard's Golden Rule to the developers is, "don't break the trunk," and so
far we've been relatively good about keeping the trunk working :). Small
changes tend to happen directly in trunk, but people sometimes stuff them
into a branch and ask for another set of eyes before they merge (kind of a
"code review honor system").

Yes, it "would be cool" to have some sort of code review feature built in
(i like Atlassian Fisheye, myself), but no, we neither have one nor do we
have a process which could be used as the basis for one developing.
