This really sounds like it can almost be achieved with the normal Fossil
workflow with extremely minor changes to Fossil. Clone the project. Make
changes. Clone  the clone with a  filter that filters out  all artifacts
but the ones desired. Email the clone and then the developer can do:

fossil pull subrepo.fossil -R project.fossil

Would  this work?  Seems  almost too  simple, but  perhaps  all that  is
missing is a way to clone a repository with just a subset of artifacts.
