You can  use the ``hidden'' tag  to tuck away silly  attempts or commits
that were simply mistakes. In the Fossil source repository, code changes
that  were wrong  (or  silly) get  assigned to  the  mistake branch  and
sometimes marked ``hidden'' so they don't  show up in the timeline. Here
are some examples:

http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?n=20&y=ci&c=2013-12-20+17:04:49
http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?n=20&c=2014-01-16+11:56:09&y=ci

If  you  click  the  ``Unhide''  button on  those  pages,  a  branch  of
development will appear that was not there before.
