Fossil doesn't really give you integrity in the sense that a commit by
a given username was really done by that person. As such I would strongly
advice against doing this. You can protect against that with signing every
commit, but in that case you can just require a clear-signed version of
your copyright assignment as well. For practical reasons, it is useful to
have that in paper as well, but that's a different issue :)
