Haha I wish, but I've been working on VCS's separate from git for a while now. Although I do love git, I've wondered for years before agents if something could be made using something different, rather than building something on top.

I'm also secretly a massive fan of Dr. Hipp and his work on FossilSCM [1]. I love a bunch of his design decisions there and wanted to apply them to a new system.

I get pi.dev AI agents to use Fossil-SCM with a skill. Lots of built-in features like Wiki and Tech Notes. I’m sure there’s lots more to use with agents.

D. R. Hipp, not Dr. Hipp.

He earned a PhD…

Still not a doctor, as he himself confirmed.

A PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy, so unless that PhD has been invalidated he is in fact a doctor. I don't know his personal preferences so perhaps he doesn't like to be referred to as a doctor (based solely on what you're saying). But there was nothing factually incorrect about the poster saying "Dr. Hipp."
