Fossil embeds a web server which +provides a graphical interface for developers, administrators, and end users. +Features: tamper-resistant immutable artifact record, simple command-line +interface, coherent versioning across all files, easy branching and merging, +bisect searches, full-text documentation searches, customizable web interface, +online activity reports, built-in wiki, SHA3-256 and hardened SHA1 checksums, +FUSE filesystem, and automated replication and backup. Fossil can host the +entire project development website, including the download area, but it also can +be used for individual projects with no need for a server. An interesting +application is coordination of /etc and other system configuration files across +a network of computers. Content is stored in an SQLite database for atomicity, +durability, and easy administration. |
