I looked at it. 3 reasons present themselves to me:
1) I may not be running a server (I'm not right now... this may change).
2) I'd have to parse the XML, at least minimally. It looks like I can
parse the "fossil stat" to find the current checkout and then look
for that in the output of:
http://localhost:8080/XXX/timeline.rss?y=ci&n=1&tag=trunk
but that seems kind of kludgey
3) It seems like a lot more overhead, compared to a local run of fossil
That said, if the powers that be (PTB) don't like the idea, rss does
provide a fallback, thanks.
