That's the problem - here is no CENTRAL in _D_VCS. As soon as i clone, my copy IS a master copy for all intents and purposes.

So as soon as i clone yours, both of us have the One True Copy (at least as far as Fossil is concerned).


Hmmm... actually, as I understand it, if you clone a Fossil repository you'll have all of the files and their history but you won't have the entire repository.

Specifically, a repository's local state is not cloned (see 2nd paragraph of section 1.0 of http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/sync.wiki ). Most of the local state can be cloned with other commands but you need to go a bit out of your way (and have extra permissions?) to do it.

It seems fair for those servers of a project which do house the full repository to be referred to as the central servers or central repositories.
