I guess I'm still not following. If I sync a git repo from random location, I have the files to make that package. However none of the documents that aren't explicitly in the git repo are provided. With Git[hub/lab/...], this is metadata outside of the repo. Ideally, I want and need that as well. If there's an issue, I can research it quickly and see if it applies to me... Or if I'm a maintainer, I can make a solution offline and then merge it when online. I understand that it may not be the perfect tool to include everything... but it does seem to fit the bill. Fossil does seem to do this correctly. I'll have to look into it.
