Robust & Reliable - Fossil stores content in an SQLite database + so that transactions are atomic even if interrupted by a power + loss or system crash. Furthermore, automatic self-checks verify + that all aspects of the repository are consistent prior to each + commit. In over two years of operation, no work has ever been + lost after having been committed to a Fossil repository. |
