I understand if you're locked-in to using Git for work so don't have a choice in the matter. But given the almost frictionless path to trying Fossil for personal or open source projects, I don't understand the "everyone already uses git" stance. If everyone took that position with rcs or svn, everyone wouldn't already be using Git today. I appreciate the non-developer concerns, but directing laymen to one place, to one repository file, to one executable binary to use a piece of software and/or to contribute to a project, might also deliver better results; it's difficult to definitively say without trying. I can only confirm my own experience, but surmise it would be a similar better experience for most others too.
