i think i might have an approach - untested, as i don't use git in my free
time...
1) export to git format, however that is done in fossil.
2) hack checkin.c, currently near line 1516:
if( !forceDelta && !db_get_boolean("seen-delta-manifest",0) ){
forceBaseline = 1;
}
Swap that 0 at the end of the first line with a 1, and it "should" start
defaulting deltas.
3) Import the git dump to a new fossil repo.
That "should" recreate everything(?), using deltas where it can.
