Isn't that by design? I believe the intention was to offload that capability to an existing solution, usually ssh.
Yeah & for that we have to deal withe Dependency hell Look at the size of Fossil & compare
What? Since when has ssh been a negative? Regardless of VC if you work on remote machines you need SSH, fullstop. I won't take you seriously if you think otherwise sorry.
Why do you NEED a new tool like SSH when you can just tinker/upgrade the old & battle-tested one ??
1995 is new to you? SSH is useful for way more thing than version control, you should be using it when interacting with remote servers in one way or another.
You must be trolling. I can't believe you just said that SSH is NOT the battle tested one. I just looked it up, git released in 2005 and fossil in 2006, it's the newer tool! So, to your comment, literally no U.
I was talking about HTTPS & Compared to it SSH is new & I guess calling someone a troll is a knee-jerk reaction these days inorder to avoid scrutiny
HTTPS has way too much bloat for it to be relevant where SSH is used. Its a protocol to send hypertext in a secure way, SSH is a secure shell. Saying that we should use https out of all tools as a SSH replacement is wild.
I call you a troll because is my kindest way to say that these opinions that you have are so out of touch with development since more than 30 years that your opinions are just wrong and you are saying them with such conviction that either you are intentionally misleading others for laughs (a troll) or it's a worse alternative. Yeah I was avoiding having to scrutinize your inability to recognize how the programming world has evolved in the last 30 years. Hell, mobile phones didn't really exist 30 years ago!
Not sure what that means. Never once heard of git being a problem or large in size. Further, it's extremely widely supported.
Do you live in a world where storage is expensive or rare? Because I more or less forgot the meaning of deleting files.
Also git does support the git protocol as a server if you really need it.
The last time I checked Just because storage is cheap (it's not where I live) doesn't give you the excuse to create/use unomptimized garbage All GIT does is versioning (which is Fine), Fossil comparitively has more features that GIT should have but doesn't (like a "Sync all" repos)
Are you sure you're not getting butt hurt by valid critiques?
What are these "Valid Critiques" ? You don't mean "Why should I try out Fossil when I'm used to Git"
I use plane for my personal project ticketing and git is built into all my IDE. Why make it harder because of a random Foss project with opinions.
