It's not clear what type of project the OP is trying to setup, whether it's
a programming-related project, or general document-repo type.

>From personal experience, I once was facing the same question to assess
Fossil "general" viability. For this almost abstract task, Jim Schimpf's
pdf book [http://www.fossil-scm.org/schimpf-book/home] was of great help.
It also helped to focus our intended use of Fossil with our projects.

Back then we concluded that Fossil was best fit for development-type
project, as developers had no issues with command-line interactions, and
were familiar with VCS concepts and tools. QA team could also use Fossil
tickets through web-UI. However non-developer users would be simply
unproductive trying to learn the Fossil command-line for document
management, thus we chose a different approach for the document-flow
project types.

Fast-forward to present, as mentioned before, with Fuel the document-flow
gets somewhat more office-friendly.

Additionally, with the use of plugins, the developer interaction also gets
somewhat more linear, concealing the command-line for the routine tasks.
Here are a few Fossil plugins:

- Fossil plugin for IDEA-based IDEs [
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7479]
- Fossil plugin for Qt Creator IDE, C/C++ [
https://github.com/nomadbyte/qtcreator-plugin-fossil]

Hope this helps.
