From Git to Fossil, in case it doesn't have to be darcs. 😉

… in the end I re-wrote most of the lines, but it was still really useful to get me to find the will to do it. 🤣
(I guess is the same reason if you ask a question a few people replies and if you make a bold false statement many will go to great length to correct you? 🤔)

Von Innsbruck nach Hamburg! 🚗

Unseren nächsten Tagungs-Stopp legen wir bei der 36. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Vereinigung für Chinastudien am Asien-Afrika-Institut der Uni Hamburg ein - mit dabei natürlich auch Bücher zum diesjährigen Thema “Selbstbilder/Fremdbilder”. Kommen Sie gern zum Schmökern bei uns am Stand vorbei! 📚

The meme about ended friendship.
But with git ditched in favor of jujutsu.

Jujutsu v0.33 is out!

Jujutsu (jj) is a new, git-compatible decentralised VCS with decent UI/UX.

woh, jujutsu is already leaking into git

Version 0.18.0 of the Smederee, your frugal darcs hosting forge has just been released. 🎉 🎆

Major things happened in repository health checks and we started to streamline the permission checks using a proper permission model instead of hacky "who owns what" in the code. 😉
So the Smederee will provide proper RBAC in the future. 😃

As usual have fun and check it out:

In other #DVCS news, Canonical is dropping Bazaar from Launchpad: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/06/launchpad-bazaar-support-being-removed

"Canonical sunsetting Bazaar may seem abrupt given it’s the code versioning system it helped develop and continues to make use of for the day-to-day development of Ubuntu itself..."

I continue to scratch my head at the Bazaar fork called Breezy (mentioned near the top of that article). I can't see why it exists or why someone would choose it, but... it exists.

Придётся на время отложить клонирование репозиториев:

Опубликованы корректирующие выпуски ... Git ..., в которых устранены уязвимости, позволяющие выполнить свой код на системе пользователя при выполнение операции клонирования репозитория, подконтрольного атакующему.

https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=63552

И ведь давно предупреждали git-сообщество, что доиграются до подобного. Наверняка в среде безопасников уже знатно нажрались и отметили этот исторический момент.
Примерно так же, как в своё время сообщество #git профукало вопрос сотрудничества с #Facebook (выбравшего вливание ресурсов и сил в #mercurial). Из-за снобизма и упоротости git-сообщество отказывалось понять и признать необходимость ряда изменений в устоявшихся подходах к работе с репозиториями. Однако, этот культурный феномен сохранился, не став уроком и вылился теперь в куда более опасное явление.

My apologies for the delay, I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' GoT to 0.114 -portable here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28750

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK (hopefully your mirror hasn't been getting hammered? Thanks again for helping with that!).

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' GoT to -portable 0.113 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/28622

I modified the Portfile to utilize the mirror you provided. Thank you again for that!

It appears as if the GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK, which implies that those processes presumably grabbed the 0.113 tarball from your mirror as well.

It's up to someone else to merge it.

Somebody please enlighten me; I am genuinely curious about this.

I honestly do not understand why a Git-based collaboration tool would allow either only fast-forward merges in a repo or always force a merge commit, like GitLab does.

Is there any good reason for this?

Is there ever something wrong about "create a merge commit if it's not a fast-forward, and do a fast-forward merge otherwise" that I am missing?

Random musing:

Trusted Timestamps & Provenance of when Students Did their Work

In which I want to ask students to insert trusted timestamps into their coding project's development history to assert when important things happened. i.e. submission and what not...

Forcing myself to unfuck some commits with Jujutsu and slowly getting the hang of it.

The "reverse commit" workflow I have is feeling like I have to be more deliberate and focused with my changes, which I see as a good thing - I often pull too many things apart at once. (Don't let me near your home electronics, the putting back together is not my stronger side)
