> In contrast, Fossil users only need to think about their working directory and the check-in they are working on. That is 60% less distraction. Every developer has a finite number of brain-cycles. Fossil requires fewer brain-cycles to operate, thus freeing up intellectual resources to focus on the software under development. Not thinking about the actual remote head and/or the local copy of the remote head seems bad? I'm worried that Fossil is just obscure information, rather than presenting it. Is it possible to `fossil rebase origin/master` without an internet connection? // edit: Reading more of the docs, what I quoted at the top is definitely, ah, misleading. > When autosync is turned off, the changes you commit are only on your local repository. To share those changes with other repositories, do: fossil push URL > When you pull in changes from others, they go into your repository, not into your checked-out local tree. To get the changes into your local tree, use update: https://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.wiki https://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.w... We have confirmed that Fossil has The working directory The "index" or staging area The local head The local copy of the remote head The actual remote head So yeah, point #2 in the OP is lies.
