Things to work on:
1. Automated self-test
2. Add a diff option similar to --tk that shows the graphical diff in
a web-browser instead of a Tk window.
3. Improvements to the "grep" command:
<ul>
<li> Search filenames given on the command-line or all managed files if
no filesnames are supplied
<li> Search the check-in named on the command-line or the
current check-out if no check-in is named
<li> --from VERSION and --to VERSION
options to search a range of check-ins
<li> --timeline, --tickets, or --wiki PATTERN to search things other
than check-ins
<li> --before DATE and --after DATE to limit the timespan of a search.
<li> Always output filename and line number
<li> Only show matches not found in adjacent check-ins, unless --all
is used.
<li> --earliest shows only the first match and --latest shows only the
most recent match when grepping a range of check-ins.
<li> -l just lists matching files
<li> --diff-only only search the difference between check-ins
</ul>
4. Change the PHANTOM table into a view on BLOB using a
partial index where BLOB.SIZE<0.
5. Prohibit database writes if any query parameters have been decoded
but the request is not from the same origin.
6. Implement a "`fossil backup`" command using VACUUM INTO.
<ul>
<li> <s>Destination can be a file or a directory</s>
Check-in [aadbe015dfa56542](https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/aadbe015dfa56542)
<li> Destination can be an SCP target
<li> <s>"`fossil all backup E:/`" when a thumb-drive is mounted on E:</s>
Check-in [aadbe015dfa56542](https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/aadbe015dfa56542)
</ul>
7. Multiple remote repositories. Running "`fossil push`" pushes
to them all, as does autosync.
<ul>
<li> Partial implementation as of 2020-08-12: Multiple remotes remembered
but can only sync to one at a time.
</ul>
8. Sync relay → On a server, when another repository pushes to
the server (or edits a wiki page on the server) the server
automatically schedules a push to peer repos.
<ul>
<li> Should be able to do this with hooks. Untested. Needs better UX.
</ul>
9. <s>Backoffice daemon → Instead of backoffice running in response
to a web request, have a separate process that monitors multiple
repositories and runs backoffice after "mtime" changes on the repository
file, or periodically (every hour? every day?) in the absence of
"mtime" changes.</s> Implemented in 2.12
10. Update preview using XMLHttpRequest instead of reloading the entire
page. Implemented in /wikiedit and /fileedit as of 2.12 and /forum/...
is pending.
11. <s>Allow help text to be in markup, either Fossil-Wiki or Markdown.</s>
Implemented in 2.12
12. Search on help-text and/or on unversioned files
<ul>
<li> The "helptext" virtual table added by check-in
[b2dacfcd735d4b1c](https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/b2dacfcd735d4b1c)
is a step toward providing search on built-in help text, but has not
yet been integrated into the search subsystem.
</ul>
13. Documentation on sync-via-sneaker-net.
14. Macros or other mechanisms for embedding a last-update timestamp
in the middle of text for wiki pages and/or embedded documentation.
* Add a command-line variant of the /secaudit0 page and make that command
accessible using "fossil all".
