crosslink --lines finds each changed file's old side by name, through the parent's sub-manifest slots or a search of its F cards, instead of flattening the parent's whole tree per check-in, and reads parent manifests through its plaintext cache leaf check-in: 399cc6b321 user: dmestas tags: trunk
13:19
A sender answers a gimme or uploads an artifact it stores as a delta in Fossil's delta form, sending the stored delta when its basis is held, unshunned, in the requester's cone and readable by the peer, so a pull of a few one-file check-ins moves kilobytes check-in: d8cc78e946 user: dmestas tags: trunk
10:37
Sync, pull and a server taking a push store an artifact received whole as a delta, a check-in against its parent, so receiving a one-file check-in costs about what the sender paid instead of a full manifest check-in: 863ba33f03 user: dmestas tags: trunk
09:31
A flat manifest is stored as a delta of its skip base, the ancestor at its height with the lowest set bit cleared, so a chain is popcount(height) deep and no commit stores a whole manifest; pack keeps the structure. Skip deltas after Subversion (Greg Hudson) check-in: bed8346191 user: dmestas tags: trunk
02:23
log CHECKIN PATH and annotate follow renames, continuing under the old name below the check-in that recorded one, with --no-follow for the name-literal view; crosslink adds a rename line and log -F json names each row check-in: dc3fb3ca95 user: dmestas tags: trunk
00:47
commit -R STORE --stdin PATH records one file's bytes from stdin as a check-in with no checkout of the caller's, holding the store's lock throughout so concurrent writers land in order; unchanged bytes exit 3 check-in: fd764eed5e user: dmestas tags: trunk

The cache carries a checksum of its image alone, so an open checks what it reads instead of the whole cache, and the record body is read through a mapping instead of copied onto the heap check-in: e9027611fe user: dmestas tags: trunk
23:04
A sparse cone can carry the parents property (--cone-parents): the root's files and the files directly in each parent directory of a member are covered too, so a narrow cone is navigable; the sparse-cone draft states the rule and its cone-parents pragma check-in: 2199ee2ef3 user: dmestas tags: trunk
21:15
log CHECKIN PATH and diff between check-ins take -F json, in Fossil's field names, so an application reads a file's history and a two-version diff without parsing text check-in: 49bd94f30d user: dmestas tags: trunk
20:15
Persist stores a received delta whose basis is not memoised as it arrived, and checks every such delta before the commit by walking each delta tree once, so a large clone no longer rebuilds each artifact through its whole chain check-in: d8c302d1ab user: dmestas tags: trunk
