You can easily provide a git mirror of a fossil repository. It can be
somewhat painful for large repositories due to bugs in git's fast-import
code, but it certainly works. The NetBSD src and pkgsrc repositories I
maintain on github are created that way. I can't comment on the
stability of the process in the other direction, but modulo the usual
fallout from git rebase pushes, it should work.
