For documentation, this could be done. Fossil does part of this. Could be
improved.

For source code, this more complicated.

Sure, you could edit your source code in a webbrowser, But what about
building it? You either have to download your source files to build them
locally, or run the build on the server. Generally, this is considered to
make it too easy to commit untested changes.

Or you can edit your sources locally, build and test, then upload your
sources through the browser.

A better approach would be to make a GUI client application for Fossil,
similar to TortoiseHg. The most successful project to do this - that I know
of - is fuel-scm.org

Alternately, some IDEs still support command line version control
"providers". At least as of 2.5 years ago, SlickEdit did.  For several
years, I used Fossil through SlickEdit's GUI.
