[fossil-users] Fossil and Git joint projects?

2011-11-04 Thread Nolan Darilek
Hey folks. So far, most of my Fossil use has been on projects I own almost exclusively. However, I'm about to start working on projects with a community, and while I'm going to push Fossil adoption hard, I may get some pushback from Git users. Is it possible to use Fossil in a workflow with p

Thanks, but that's not really what I asked. I totally get Fossil's development model, have used it for over a year and think that it'd be a great fit for this particular community. I also read this message when it was originally posted. But I may be working with people who would rather submit

Hi Nolan, Stephan, I think that this is doable for a restricted subclass of usage scenarios (these conforming workflow style cited by Stephan above + bunch of other restrictions). We can benefit the fantastic opportunity of sqlite as fossil artifacts container - I think that it is possible

Apologies in advance if this makes no sense. I've only done a tiny bit with git and that was some time ago. What if you have a single directory that both version control systems use? You pull from git, commit to Fossil, do your changes and commit to Fossil, and then push your changes to git. Wh
