Timeline

Selection, top-level directory, reproducibility, and the refusal to write a partial archive are shared with tarball whole; only the container differs. Zip's header carries the size and CRC, so a member is compressed before its header is written, and deflate is used only when it makes the member smaller. Modes live in the central directory's external attributes, which is where a reader looks and where an executable silently becomes 0644 if you get it wrong -- so the fossil differential compares both formats now. check-in: c454de8df9 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Comparing zit to itself cannot catch a wrong permission bit -- writer and reader agree in the same direction. Fossil is an independent witness that already gets it right, so the harness unpacks both archives and compares member set, modes, and contents. It found one: -R was dropped at dispatch, which every test missed by running inside a checkout. Fossil versions symlinks where zit add still refuses them, so an imported corpus is also what finally exercises the l-perm path. check-in: 96a6d46d19 user: dmestas tags: trunk

The effective-set walk already resolves sub-manifests and delta chains in canonical order, so this is that walk with an archive writer. Members carry the F card's permission, so an executable stays executable. Two runs of one version are byte-identical: history supplies the order and the timestamps, and no uid, gid, or build host is recorded. A file the store does not hold is refused by name -- a partial archive looks exactly like success. check-in: 580d0691c7 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Plain tag listing now reflects only singleton symbolic release names, while raw listing preserves complete repository tag state.

Plain tag list now shows only singleton symbolic names globally and on a check-in, excluding branch machinery, raw properties, and propagating tags. Raw listing preserves every active tag, stored prefix, and value.

Add a tag-type-filtered repository-state query and end-to-end coverage for mixed singleton, propagating, raw, and branch tags.

ls --long adds size, the F card's permission token, and text/binary. The permission is the fact no other verb can supply -- it lives in the manifest, and the blob it names does not know it is executable -- so a listing could not mark executables and mis-rendered symlinks. --under bounds the listing to one directory, which is also what makes --long's per-file content read affordable.

log --long adds each check-in's timestamp, user and comment. log CHECKIN PATH already selected the check-ins touching PATH; emitting only hashes meant a file-history page cost a subprocess per row.

Both are opt-in; the default outputs are byte-identical. A blob the store cannot produce reports 'absent' rather than a zero-byte text file. closed check-in: f01eb5b6a0 user: dmestas tags: quarry-support

Longest match across both polarities decides coverage, so the verdict alone cannot say why a file is missing. The member prints bare so it pastes into zit cone remove. Exits 0 when every path is covered, 1 when any is elided. closed check-in: 3cb62134a3 user: dmestas tags: sparse-cone
