Thanks bytevolcano, in a way yes, I was thinking about the user table only
at the time. I was going to use fossil for a project I'm working on but it
wouldn't strictly be used as a SCM at all, and it would require for me to
enable user self registration, which opened more doors about how I would

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.

That makes sense, thank you.

Another point to consider is that fossil does not synchronize user
information unless it's explicitly told to. e.g.
Anonymization is not possible because the user name is part of each commit
entry, which means that it affects the hash code of each commit. Changing
any data in a commit, including the user name or timestamp, would change
the hash, and thereby invalidate every commit which derived from that.

I understand, how about anonymization then. User "Jane" is deleted. Replace
all references with default user "Anonymous".

Fossil keeps history forever. How would it do so, if autho
Is there a practical reason why users can't be deleted or was it just a
design decision? I guess if I stop fossil server I can manually edit the
sqlite db and delete from table?
