I get the same feeling reading about Fossil as I do when thinking about how Netscape almost used Scheme in the browser or imagining if Babbage had completed the analytical engine in his lifetime or the Romans had built a steam engine. Like it's a glimpse into a different future because of some road not taken.
I really like the batteries included model. It would be so cool if Git managed your issues and discussions as well, instead of having them locked to one platform.<p>But... I don't see a free Fossil cloud host with GitHub level corporate support, and multiple alternatives.<p>It seems like there are lots of really interesting alternatives to Git itself, but Git is the standard everyone knows, so I don't really even bother looking into using anything else.
Anyone know how this works with bigger files like large binaries?<p>I've been wanting to switch away from Perforce, but Git LFS has given us too many problems
