the solution to fossil corrupting itself is to fix fossil, not to 
insist on venti.

automatic archival snapshots are a great feature, but my personal 
experience has been that venti is not resistant to unexpected
power failure.

so i don't think that venti+fossil is a better solution than
just fossil in every situation.  not everyone has a dedicated
fs on a ups.
