When I tried Fossil it had things weirdly separated.
I was expecting when I make a commit, I would have the facility to specify what issues it addressed and it would close them for me automatically. It seemed there is so much opportunity there to "close the loop" when the issue tracker, etc and integrated in your VCS, but it wasn't taken.
That's my favourite thing about fossil though. History is what it is, not simplified to look "clean" (i.e. hide what actually happened and when) and you get a lot fewer footguns to ruin everything by accidentally rebasing things to the wrong place without noticing.
