I've been using fossil on all of my new projects to give it a try (as
of 3 weeks ago). Previously I had been using mercurial (and before
that git, and before that subversion, and before that cvs).

Praise so far:
- Auto-sync is great.
- Single executable is great, and so is the ease of hosting with a
simple default apache install with cgi.
- In my opinion, the web reports/wiki look nice and clean, and are
fast and not loaded with images (and the lizard skeleton logo is
great), despite what some people must have said for DRH to dedicate a
section to that topic in the criticisms page.

Questions:
- Is there a way to host a repository publicly, but make it so that
anonymous (or non-logged in) people can't see anything in timeline,
etc.? Most of my projects are personal or commercial and I don't need
people seeing anything (even a timeline) except people I'd like to
share the code with.
- Is there a way to have an equivalent to an .hgignore in mercurial,
where you can add all files in the directory structure but ignore
certain patterns (like *.log, *.class, *.exe, etc.)? I've been getting
around that by adding files in chunks, which isn't bad at all.

Thanks for another great project,
Wes
