That makes sense, but what I'm saying is, why bother with the compile-time flag? It seems desirabe to allow the user to configure this behavior with repository settings, rather than using a flag to determine if it is hard-coded or not. Are there a lot of legacy scripts out there that are difficul

Hello, I am trying to understand the idea behind FOSSIL_ENABLE_LEGACY_MV_RM. It has been around for a while, and it is the only compile-time flag that determines if a setting is hard-coded or if it is obtained from the repository config. It appears that if this is not defined, the "mv" and "rm"

I think Peter is referring to deleting users from the "user" table. Fossil keeps the commit history forever, and each manifest has the name of the user that made the commit. In the database, this is recorded in the user column of the "event" table as the name of the user that made the commit. The
