    "Fossil purposely makes it difficult for users to delete content." Those operations are explicitly declared special, not something you do many times per day because you had a typo in your print statement. I guess technically you can do it often, but the tooling does not make it easy at all, and you are going against program's recommended best practices.

Then you have proven that you are human. > Fossil has no way to fix it, by design, As an 18-year-long contributor to fossil i can assure you that this is absolutely not true. Fossil can amend any checkin and it can move checkins to other branches. Go to sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=mistake to see many examples of where human failing has been both demonstrated and accounted for without breaking anything.

    14 "mistakes" in the entire 2025. I am probably making that many per week? Not to mention committing the intentionally broken stuff, with the expectation that I'll come back and amend if I decided it should go to main.

  Who cares. Add another commit is the answer.
