The majority of artifacts inherit from some parent artifact. If you remove any of these relationships you've just broken the chain. "Maybe" fossil could re-link the neighbors on either side of such a construct and recalculate deltas for them. That sounds reasonable, but then comes syncing... what happens to everyone else's copy of the repo which has those artifacts? We cannot remove those artifacts from their copies because that would open up the possibility for one malicious user to delete all content (irrevocably) from all repos which sync with his. As one of the Ghostbusters famously said: "That would be bad." -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
