So far, none of the IDEs I've used seem to support VCS merges from within
the IDE. I've always had to go to the VCS itself (or, when using Hg or SVN
on Windows, TortoiseHg or TortoiseSVN), so lack of merging in libfossil
might not be a big issue for creating Fossil plug-ins for IDEs.

A GUI for Fossil would benefit from merge support in libfossil, but could
work around it.

I'll think about taking over libfossil. My main concern is that my
employer's legal department won't allow me to sign the Fossil copyright
assignment document.
