Not-forking avoids duplicating the source code of one project within another project, where the projects are external to each other. It avoids project-level forking by largely automating change management in ways that version control systems such as Fossil, Git, or GitHub cannot.<p>Project README: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;not-forking&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;not-forking&#x2F;</a> Detailed technical spec: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;not-forking&#x2F;doc&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;doc&#x2F;not-forking.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;not-forking&#x2F;doc&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;doc&#x2F;not-forkin...</a> Example of project using Not-Forking: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;lumosql&#x2F;doc&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;doc&#x2F;lumo-build-benchmark.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lumosql.org&#x2F;src&#x2F;lumosql&#x2F;doc&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;doc&#x2F;lumo-build-ben...</a>
