Missed this a month ago, but still needs a comment I think. Fossil's architecture is not SQL, see http://www.fossil-scm.org/xfer/doc/trunk/www/theory1.wiki And unless NoSQL simply means "not using SQL", then Git isn't it! > Actually...

Actually there are two kinds of people in the world, those who expect something to do whatever they think it should, and those who look at what it is designed to do, and how it is designed to be used, and then either use it accordingly or find something else. Of course success in extending or embedding depends on the level of available skill in awk or Perl or Expect or whatever. Remember that the target end-user for Fossil is a developer! > But don't say it's easy to extend by writing a separate client or ipc-ing > to this one... Why not, it's a perfectly acceptable technique.
