Store check-in, link and tag rows as fossil does (#258) (#261)

* fix(manifest): store check-in, link and tag rows as fossil does (#258)

A rebuilt or locally written repository differed from fossil's in three derived values: event and plink times in their last digits, event.omtime left NULL, and a valueless tag stored as '' instead of NULL.

Fossil stores a tag time as SQLite's julianday() bound as a double, but writes event, plink, attachment and forumpost times into SQL text with its own printf("%.17g"), which emits 16 digits in long double arithmetic. TimeToJulian is now julianday() exactly (whole milliseconds over 86400000) and TimeToTextJulian ports fossil's printf conversion, so both match fossil bit for bit. The conversion follows builds where long double is a double (macOS, Windows); fossil itself differs across platforms in the last digit.

Check-in events record omtime, tag writes bind NULL for an empty value, the readers of event and plink times under the ncruces driver rebuild the text form, and the CLI's tag listing reads NULL values.

* test(db): sweep both stored julian forms; scan the text form from driver times (#258)

* test(verify): compare text times bit for bit only where fossil computes them in double (#258) check-in: 2c2e5e74b6 user: [email protected] tags: trunk

Initial open source release

libfossil is a pure-Go implementation of the Fossil SCM, reading and writing the same .fossil SQLite repository format as upstream Fossil.

This is the first public release of code that previously lived in a private repository. The module path is github.com/danmestas/libfossil and the binary is named libfossil to avoid $PATH collisions with upstream fossil.

Included: - Repo lifecycle (create, clone), checkout/checkin, timeline, merge, diff, annotate, shun, tag, branch, bisect, stash, undo/redo - Sync-over-HTTP protocol (client and handler) - Two SQLite drivers: modernc (pure Go, default) and ncruces (wasm-capable) - Observer interfaces (SyncObserver, CheckoutObserver) with an optional OpenTelemetry implementation in observer/otel (separate submodule) - Deterministic simulation testing harness with BUGGIFY fault injection - Kong-based embeddable CLI under cli/ and a standalone binary under cmd/libfossil/ check-in: f5744359d3 user: [email protected] tags: trunk
