I've recently added the ability to associate a wiki page in Fossil with an individual check-in or with a branch - as additional documentation about that branch or check-in. This is similar to your concept, if I understand you correct. The Fossil changes have worked well enough so far. But only time will tell if this ends up being a good idea or not, I suppose.
An example is the "About branch begin-concurrent-pnu-wal2" at the top of the page https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=begin-concurrent-pnu-wal2 https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=begin-concurrent-pnu-w... - the page shows all check-ins for the branch, and the Wiki at the top gives a summary of what that branch is about.
Another example is the detailed discussion in the "About" section for check-in https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/718ead555b09892f https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/718ead555b09892f - important information that records the thinking about this commit but which seems too prolix for a check-in comment.
Let me know your thoughts on this idea.
- afiori 8y agoIf how understand it right it is pretty much what I had in mind (assuming that you can always create new branches on old commits). In the last week I have been quite charmed by many of Fossil ideas, I will for sure try this feature too.
