I use fossil for small projects and I often import trees from GitHub into fossil-scm to visualize and reason about the history.

I really appreciate the mindset that Dr. H and friends have brought to both SQLite and Fossil - that is - minimal and efficient code with very low dependencies.

I first came across fossil-scm when I was looking for a simple way to host some development repos for a small group; it is so much easier with the integrated cli/server than what I found with git. Also, I love the ease of setting up replication and the he single file format.

Keep up the good work, glad to see there is some focus on the next generation!

I'd like to second the feature request mentioned elsewhere in this thread about having some for of access control on sub-trees or files within a fossil project - but - maybe that could be accomplished by simply doing a separate project / vendor tree type pattern IDK.
