> the Fossil devs projecting their dogmatic views on their perceived competition. Meanwhile, you project your disdain towards Fossil in your own hyperbolic comments and the use of intentionally divisive words like "perceived competition". Fossil is not competing with anyone. > Fossil is a distributed version control system (DVCS) written beginning in 2007 by the architect of SQLite for the purpose of managing the SQLite project. Though Fossil was originally written specifically to support SQLite, it is now also used by countless other projects. (Fossil docs) I'm not speaking for the Fossil project, but I'd bet that the only undesired consequence of Git's existence in their minds is the unfortunate phenomenon of ocasional Githeads stumping into Fossil's forums, foaming in the mouth about how Fossil is All That's Wrong in the Universe and how its existence is unbearable unless they change it to be more like Git. Yeah, I can use hyperbole too. How nice!

> Fossil is not competing with anyone. False. This page is proof. https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.w... > I’d bet that the only undesired consequence of Git’s existence in their minds is the unfortunate phenomenon of ocasional [sic] Githeads stumping into Fossil’s forums Wrong again, you lost that bet. You owe me a beer. https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/rebaseharm.md https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/rebaseharm.md You need to actually read the Fossil pages first to understand what this argument is even about. You are providing evidence that you’re just attacking me without understanding the history. > I can use hyperbole too. Do you realize that you’re totally validating my whole argument? Because you’re calling my argument hyperbole and a straw man, when I’m accurately describing what Fossil and it’s author have said about git rebase, without realizing it you are agreeing with me and disagreeing with @SQLite. You claimed that my question about rebase being a felony was a straw man, when in fact that’s exactly what @SQLite said literally. You called @SQLite’s idea ridiculous, not mine. You are disagreeing with the core belief that Dr. Hipp holds that modifying code history should be at the level of a criminal offense. I’m upvoting you because you are proving my point.
