Re: [fossil-users] Question about the file formats.

Well, the compression is the last thing I am talking about. It is important, but not essential. I am talking about several people working on one file and then fossil merging the changes automatically (of course if there is no conflicts in the edits). On Tue, 20 Dec 2016 16:58:18 -0700 Warren

[fossil-users] incorrect user info in export --git

When exporting from a Fossil repository and importing into a Git repository, the commits all seem to identify the email address as the name and the name as the email address. The command I use is essentially identical to what the documentation/example at fossil-scm.org, and I do not see a way in

Re: [fossil-users] Question about the file formats.

I am not talking about the fossil heuristics in detection of what file is binary and what file is text. Imagine all detection is switched off. Under "fossil algorithms" I mean two (in my understanding most important in what is called "version control": diff algorithm and 3-way merge algorithm.

[fossil-users] Question about the file formats.

Hi. I know that fossil (and most other version control systems) can handle properly only text source files. I am designing a format for my application and have some questions about the files handling. They are very related, but in different form: What makes the binary files different from the
