Git strives to record what the development of a project should have looked like had there been no mistakes. Fossil, in contrast, puts more emphasis on recording exactly what happened, including all of the messy errors, dead-ends, experimental branches, and so forth. One might argue that this makes the history of a Fossil project "messy," but another point of view is that this makes the history "accurate." In actual practice, the superior reporting tools available in Fossil mean that the added "mess" is not a factor. Like Git, Fossil has an [/help?cmd=amend|amend command] for modifying prior commits, but unlike in Git, this works not by replacing data in the repository, but by adding a correction record to the repository that affects how later Fossil operations present the corrected data. The old information is still there in the repository, it is just overridden from the amendment point forward. For extreme situations, Fossil adds the [/doc/trunk/www/shunning.wiki|shunning mechanism], but it has strict limitations that prevent global history rewrites. One commentator characterized Git as recording history according to the victors, whereas Fossil records history as it actually happened. We go into more detail on this topic in a separate article, [./rebaseharm.md | Rebase Considered Harmful]. <h3 id="hash">2.8 Hash Algorithm: SHA-3 vs SHA-2 vs SHA-1</h3> Fossil started out using 160-bit SHA-1 hashes to identify check-ins, just as in Git. That changed in early 2017 when news of the [https://shattered.io/|SHAttered attack] broke, demonstrating that SHA-1 |
