Why blame? You have to be congratulated!!

The markdown-wiki topic was brought in Nov '09 and I jumped to it
~6months later after discovering Fossil.

I'm sorry for not being included in the discussion, probably it was
during the phase when I was not using Fossil a lot and/or not following
mailing list.

These days I mostly settled on (light) using of Git, but Fossil's
simplicity still fascinates me and that's why I periodically
re-evaluating it.

I still miss some things like ability to do immediate uncommit after
some silly mistakes (like forgetting add/rm some files, wrong message
etc.), as well as ability to selectivley scrub unneeded private
branches.

Sometimes, I also like to be able to rebase and tweak my commits before
pushing to the public repo.

However, having markdown in wiki brings nice 'pros' to Fossil.

For some of my web needs I use Nikola (python static generator) which
support python's implementation of markdown
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown) as well as Pandoc's
implementation (e.g.
http://oopsmonk.blogspot.com/2013/05/pandocs-markdown-reference.html).

I must say that I prefer to use reST for documentation, but for shorter
stuff markdown might be good-enough.

So, I'll take a closer look and see what I'd consider 'missing features'
and report back here.


Sincerely,
Gour
