Fair point. I would still prefer that Fossil self-tune, however. While it is true that my formula doesn’t give intuitive p values, it is also true that you cannot pick sensible d values for a repository without knowing various characteristics about the repository. I will think about this, and see if I can come up with a better formula, one which gives the desired result, which picks the number of digits that reduces the chances of a collision in daily use to some arbitrarily low value. I hope you will be out there trying to beat me to that superior formula. :) > fossil itself might serve as an example: there currently are about 8e3 > checkins > and a single 7-digit collision My largest repository has 21 collisions at 7 digits. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
