Reading through the fossil documentation about private branches. It states that There is no way to convert a private branch into a public branch. But all of the changes associated with the private branch are folded into the public branch and are hence visible to other users of the project.

I am confuzzled. Seems the private branch becomes public by folding into the public branch.

I am inheriting some 20 year old C code for a device that is being completely redesigned with modern everything. The algorithms used in the old code required going through many months of verification and certification (government mandated). I need to track all changes (I am going to be gut it using a facsimile of the core algorithm) so I figure this is a good candidate for using Fossil. They are currently using an ancient CVS system that, well I could not find a single reference to it anywhere. So I am going to try to convince them to use a different system since we are effectively starting from scratch. So I am back again trying to figure out the details how to use fossil before I am forced to use some other system. Fossil seems to be the least painful of the alternatives.
