I'm honestly not flame-baiting but have you tried to come up with an interface idea/sketch/set of paradigms that would considerably lower the barrier for people to use DVC systems? No, really, even those rare programmers who are able to reason about the ways their software is used like "mere mortals" are skewed in their reasoning. I'm a programmer, and after having used a bunch of centralized and distributed VC systems I've come to a temporary conclusion that the set of problems [D]VC systems are trying to solve has certain irreducible complexity, and hence these systems either throw it onto the heads of the users (Git) or sweep it under the rug (Mercurial, Fossil). So it would be really interesting to see some *constructive* discussion of different approaches such systems should take when making their users tackle that set of problems. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
