@b0rk Fascinated by fossil, but VCS is multi-person game 😄

@mandarvaze @b0rk one nice thing about Fossil is that it doesn't require other contributors to use Fossil. If they can attach a patch to an email, or post a code change suggestion to its forum, Fossil gives you the tooling to pull it in. (Of course git does too! No monopolies on that particular style of flexibility.)
