That's the main reason to like Fossil's approach (namely, the use of
SQL, specifically SQLite3): you can write declarative queries and let
the query planner optimize.

(That's also about the only thing I like about Fossil: the use of
SQL/SQLite3, and all that that implies.  Fossil is otherwise an
anti-git, and that makes it useless for me.)

Pardon the intrusion,
