The plan is to convert SQLite and Fossil itself over to 2.1 as soon as
possible.  In other words, start injecting SHA3 content right away.
Details are still sketchy.

My current thinking is that Fossil 2.1 servers will detect when a
version 1.x client tries to sync or clone and will send by a polite
message asking the user to upgrade their client.  This seems like it
will minimize inconvenience.  And content will always be accessible
through tarball and ZIP archive downloads, even if users do not want
to upgrade their client.

The plan is to merge the fossil-2.0 branch back to trunk within days -
as soon as I can get it completely implemented and do some high-level
sanity checking.

After the merge, I'm going to ask y'all in the community to do your
best to break it.  After some extensive testing, we can cut the 2.0
release, with the 2.1 release to follow at the same time or perhaps
after a delay of a few days.
