Well, I think what I meant is that in 'git' I see a much more often usage of private branches than what I expect to use in fossil (although it also allows private branches).

I did a "grep -R perl" in the git directory, and I saw: Concidència en el fitxer binari bin/git Concidència en el fitxer binari bin/git-shell Concidència en el fitxer binari bin/git-upload-archive Concidència en el fitxer binari bin/git-receive-pack Concidència en el fitxer binari bin/git-upload-pack ... Although you did not reply with a "+1" on that, I favour a lot the ability to 'tag' check-ins in the style of monotone certificates, for which I have not found a similar enough procedure in git. Either in svn or in git, I don't know how we can have any little information on "did revision 22403 work to build a nixos on armv5tel-linux?", and I think that would have a great value. But most of I know about the usage of certificates or tags/properties in fossil comes from the manuals, not from usage of those VCS. But I know that I've felt the lack of that in both svn and git (not only nix-related). _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
