Hello, when checking Fossil’s timeline on the web I noticed the 6429054f8ef073b6 commit with the following content:
“The first distributed version control system (as far as this author knows) was [http://www.monotone.ca|Monotone]. Many of the ideas behind the design of Fossil were copied from Monotone, including the use of a SHA1 hash to assign names to artifacts. Git and Mercurial did the same thing.” and the first thought was: “What about Darcs?” I did check with Wikipedia which says: * Darcs - initial release: March 3, 2003; and * Monotone - initial release: April 6, 2003 Of course, I do not claim Wikipedia as ultimate authority, but being Darcs user myself from its very beginning, I just wanted to share it here in order not to have wrong info in the repo. Sincerely, Gour -- Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
