The problem with Fossil is lack of a driving force. GitHub is so successful because it is non-trivial to get Git working. Now that Git is a standard, there's a lot of copycats for GitHub itself, because every developer knows Git.* Fossil seems to be pretty easy to use all by itself, hence

Fossil is superfine and I'd like it for various reasons too, but unfortunately it does not scale to the OpenBSD repo size well. As a test, you can try and clone fossil repo of NetBSD and I'm sure you will find out quickly why people are working on GoT and OpenGIT. On 1/4/20 5:20 PM, go

Git is the most popular VCS (and most ugly), meanwhile there are people who prefer to reimplement it because they don't like its license... FreeBSD is working on OpenGit, OpenBSD is working on Game of Trees, but why reimplement the wheel instead of using a better solution: Fossil? I like CVS
