That's awesome! It might be possible that with only a few tweaks in a few commands that Fossil could be used effectively and smoothly to work with large unversioned data/media files. In my ongoing attempt to better understand the capabilities and constraints of how Fossil might be used to manage large datasets along with their analysis methods and products, I have two additional questions: 1. What is the largest size of any single file that can be checked into a repository? 2. How well will the sync command handle large files? Additionally, and this might not be a reasonable variation of the fusefs command, I've only been playing with it for about ten minutes, but it might be easier to understand and use if there were a couple more options: Usage: fossil fusefs ?options? DIRECTORY Options: --debug -R|--repository REPO *new* There need not be an existing checkout. ?VERSION | --latest? *new* This command uses the Fuse Filesystem (FuseFS) to mount a *READ-ONLY* directory at DIRECTORY that contains the content of all check-ins in the repository. If ?VERSION is specified, the names of files are DIRECTORY/PATH where DIRECTORY is the root of the mount, and PATH is the pathname of the file in the check-in. If not ?VERSION is not specified, the names of files are DIRECTORY/checkins/VERSION/PATH where DIRECTORY is the root of the mount and VERSION is any valid check-in name (examples: "trunk" or "tip" or a tag or any unique prefix of a SHA1 hash, etc). _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
