alt Hacker NewsOf course, we can’t leave out a mention of Fossil here — the SCM system built by and for SQLite.

Fossil is great. Not only is it a full suite of tools associated with the repository (discussions, tickets, wiki) but the tool is a single >10mb binary and can run as a web server (or CGI-like interface) for remote hosting.

And fossil itself is an SQLite database!

How much does it take advantage of being a DB underneath?

yeah fossil is great, but can fossil import the linux kernel (already working on the next post)
I use Fossil for all of my long term projects. It can even import Git repositories if you want to try it out.
Today I was working on a semester paper for a non-technical class. It is versioned in fossil and I have all my miscellaneous ideas, initial outline, and the paper guidelines in the Wiki. The branching also makes much more sense, and I’ve used it for major revisions of the paper or its structure.
Fossil is legitimately awesome, and I lament the fact that Git gained popularity over it.
