To be fair, I'm being glib - it probably works fine if properly configured, but configuring CGI plugins on IIS is not a straightforward task. I tinkered with it for an afternoon and only got so far as IIS loading an instance of fossil.exe for each inbound request. Sadly, the .exes would just sit

Lack of hooks is a hassle for me too. Wrapper scripts don't meet the need - especially on the server side. Part of the power of hooks is that you don't have to replicate the effort of parsing the command line to know what is being done. An example: I have a regression system running and when

Out of curiosity, why are you converting from mercurial? I ask because my friends and I adopted fossil and other friends of ours are asking us why we didn't go with mercurial instead. I didn't really have a good answer, apart from fossil seemed smaller (footprint, use-complexity) and cooler =)
