Comments among Git users that I often hear are basically limited to two
questions:

1. Is there no 'rebase' command?
2. Don't you get commit hooks out-of-the-box?

The first question I vaguely answer with "The Fossil filosophy is
different", but I would like to have a stronger argument against rebasing,
preferrably with an example.

I think the second question is more reasonable to request for.
An example: I have seen many and big documents about "coding style",
boiling down to extreme details about how to indent your C/C++ program.
When many programmers participate in a project, it becomes an impossible
task to require them all to use the correct "coding style".
A commit pre-hook running an automatic indenting would have solved this
problem.
This is just one example. But I would like to see hooks enabled by default,
instead of being a compile-time option. This would also require more
documentation about how to use TH1 hooks, which IMHO is a weak area.

BR,
Johan

Uhm, no, I hadn't. I just downloaded the latest Windows executable and it
came with https enabled.

Thanks! That's a great leap forward! In my opinion, there's now in my
opinion nothing left that'd make Git superiour to Fossil unless you got a
huge amount of contributors (according to the Fossil documentation), or a
project spanning several gigabytes. I'll certainly pass this on.

But I won't let you off like that nonetheless. :)
Why hasn't this been announced properly, or have I overslept it? ;-)
