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.
