I was referring to the difference between "artifacts" and entries in a table in the database. Fossil only sync's artifacts between repositories. Anything in the db that isn't an artifact is local metadata. Besides tags added when a commit is made, Fossil allows additional tags to be created. It does this by creating "control artifacts", therefore making these additional tags sync-able between repos. By adding "rcvfrom" tags to commits received from the other repos, any given commit would then be trace-able to its originating repo - even if any of the intermediate repos is no longer available.
