In Fossil it's not impossible to remove offensive content, though deletion is discouraged. Fossil's policies and content removal procedures are discussed here: http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/tip/www/shunning.wiki http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/tip/www/shunning.wiki
It's also possible to access everything in the repository using the command:
fossil sqlite3
which opens a command line accepting sql queries. If one knows how to modify the database, then tickets, etc. can be edited. Probably, using the "official" methods to remove content is a lot safer.
- sgbeal 12y agoFWIW: simply removing records from your repo db (in particular the blob table) _will_ corrupt it. Fossil stores deltas and other metadata which span blobs, and it's not trivial (and in many cases not possible) to separate them post facto. Hypothetically it would be possible to "pop" the top-most change from a repo, then repeat that, going all the way back to the start of the repo, but it's not possible to remove something from in the middle without the equivalent of a 4-way heart bypass surgery.
