> One thing that isn't mentioned is whether Fossil supports working offline as well as Git does. My impression from this page is that it emphasising creating every branch on a server as well, which implies you need to be connected? If so, I'd consider that a "missing feature" as well, as it's something I use regularly enough and that's important enough that it'd be something I'd miss if it weren't there.

The way fossil works is that by default autosync is turned on, which means that if you are connected to the internet all of your commits, wiki and issue tracker changes are synced to the server.

In the case that you're not connected, everything still works as expected, and will sync back up next time you're online and try to commit or just run `fossil update`.




Thanks, that makes sense then.
