Fossil: A decentralized version control, bug tracking, and wiki software
Original author of Fossil here, with two comments:<p>(1) Fossil was created for the single purpose of supporting SQLite development, a mission at which it has succeeded spectacularly. Fossil is therefore a success story, irregardless of its mind-share relative to Git.  That thousands of other developers also find Fossil useful on their own project is just gravy. I am not concerned that Fossil has not (yet) become the &quot;one true and great DVCS&quot;. My intent is to continue personally supporting and maintaining Fossil for at least three more decades.<p>(2) Git people: Please steal ideas and code from Fossil. This is not about winning and losing; it is about providing the best possible tools. Fossil has a number features which are missing from Git but which could be easily added to Git and would enhance the Git-user experience. I&#x27;m not talking about the philosophical differences between Fossil and Git (which I recognize that Git is unlikely to ever change) but rather specific UI features such as &quot;fossil all&quot; or &quot;fossil ui&quot; or &quot;fossil undo&quot; or the ability to view the ancestors of check-ins. Fossil is 2-clause BSD, so you do not even have to acknowledge where you stole the code from. Do it for your users, please.
