Thank you for sharing, although it's not very encouraging. :-(

Well, I believe that Fossil could be interested for many SVN projects.

The project which I converted has Git mirror which works with svn2git
and every project users can see how does it feel using new (D)VCS. In
that way, by not being able to do similar thing for Fossil, it's hard to
compete with projects' migration to Git.
