Well... the tickets are things that live in the repository like a commit, so can reference other entries, and are referenceable by other entries, in a first class way, so it’s a “simple matter of programming” for git in the dismissive sense.
- fermuch 9y agoThese features are possible right now on the backend of git to be implemented. There's nothing blocking git to add these things. What git would need is a front-end (remember, the cli is a frontend) to implement these. Don't get me wrong, I do agree fossil is adding some new cards to the table. I just think it would be better implemented as extensions to git than a new system made from scratch.
- Boulth 9y agoYep, this is completely possible to implement in git. Fossil has it built-in already, that's good. For anyone who wants to see what's possible using low level git tools: https://github.com/google/git-appraise https://github.com/google/git-appraise
