10000000 Mind boggling

Hard disagree. The information system and its popup was vital information that the attending failed to act on. This anecdote serves as an example of user error and incompetence. An…

cut a PR to improve it; that would be nice

> PS: the overwhelming majority of FOSS projects are far closer in size and scope to sqlite than they are to the Linux kernel (for which git was created). It's amusing if not ironi…

So you want to appeal to authority?

That looks to be someone presenting their opinion—not a statement of fact. Ironically, too, considering the guidelines they link guides users to not do what they're doing.

Can you see, though, how using rebase to "clean" the historical record—irrespective of your intentions—is in fact deceiving the reader by presenting a narrative that is in fact dif…

What negative language? You seem to be attributing your own negative connotations to a word that is being used descriptively—not disparagingly. And the shun page explains that you …

That's on you that you take it as a value judgment of your or anyone else's character. It's quite literally an accurate description of the rebase feature and the result of its use.…

I don't know about scrub as it doesn't alter version history but user data such as passwords, IP addresses, etc.; but to shun an artifact definitely meets my criteria for falsifyin…

I understand if you're locked-in to using Git for work so don't have a choice in the matter. But given the almost frictionless path to trying Fossil for personal or open source pro…

> Does anyone use Fossil? Daily, across a half dozen odd repos, and it greatly simplified my life since switching from Git. My primary wish is to have the forum compatible with ema…

But have you tried Fossil to see if it does meet your way superior standard? Unless you're working on Linux kernel- or BSD-sized repositories, Fossil is arguably a better fit than …

In the event it's done before pushing, it's still lying, albeit to yourself—it is falsifying the record of what actually happened. The clearest way of conveying this is with the wo…

You shun the secrets-leaking commit: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/shunning.wiki

Not a replacement inasmuch as it's not a standalone chat client to be used by disparate users for various reasons. It's a chat client for developers of a given project to convene d…

You’d forsake an improvement for the sake of following the rest of the cattle? Have you used it, yet, to see if it sufficiently meets your way superior standard to break free from …

Except none of that refutes the fact that changing history is lying irrespective of the motivation behind the change. You can rephrase it however your sensibilities like, it won’t …

And httpd and relayd.

That, and it's very easy to hide commits from the timeline too. You can get most if not all the benefits of rebase without losing history—that's a good thing.

You could always try "fossil amend" as a commit amendment tool for starters.

It's only for devs with commit bits—not random users. So not likely to be buried in feature requests and much more likely to be just a couple messages being passed back and forth b…
