My boss just sent me mail that said, and I quote:

   Fossil sucks and is actually not compatible with Windows

I'm pretty sure I've seen people here who use it no Windows, and
there's a Windows distribution, which makes me think he's wrong.

His problem is that he has lots of spaces in his directory and file
names, and we (Windows is a third-line gaming platform for me, but I
try...) couldn't figure out how to get such passed to fossil as file
names, instead of broken up by command.com or whatever does that job
these days. Quoting again:

    If I try adding parentheses or quotes then the ignorant
    application bombs out.

So, anyone got advice on this? Maybe a GUI that works with the fossil
Windows binary from fossil.org?

        Thanks,

Mike,

I think he doesn't want to move to fossil. And all the arguments you make will not help.
He keep up making arguments why it sucks
Better sit down with him and ask him what the problem is, maybe first a few pints of strong lager. Maybe you selected the tool without him participating (enough) in the decision.

It is not a technical issue.
