I've the same question...understanding that there is no perfect DVCS
(those which I like as {darcs,monotone} do not have public hosting
solutions, and those which have decent public hosting {bzr,hg} are not
on the top of of my preferences - git/github is excluded), so Fossil
(still) looks as very decent solution to be used for the multi-platform
open-source project - nice DVCS integrating tracker and being easy to
host everything under every shared web hosting.
However, getting in/out of the fossil world is a bit problematic...
Considering that all the major DVCS players {bzr,hg,git} as well as
some like {darcs,monotone} have some kind of tools available to
convert repo, at least, from X to git, I am also curious how one could
export history from Fossil?
It's nice to have git-import converter, but at the same time I believe
that having some kind of git-export tool would allow more users to try
going into the Fossil land.
Any hint?
