note:
* Really makes you think about 'the right tool for the job'
* Fossil seems more suitable for small-scale, closed-source projects than Git

So why are we all using Git, a version control system that was designed to support a globally-developed open-source project like the Linux kernel?
Are all projects like that?
Is your project like the Linux kernel?
Or does it look more like SQLite?
Surely something to think about.
