The Fossil timeline view is helpful because of the actual line(s) that are drawn for each branch -- it's a visualization tool rather than a log of commits. This seems to be lacking in the linked "GitLab Activity" view.
Also handy is the Fossil timeline includes more than just commits, it includes Commits, Wiki changes, Change artifacts, Technotes, and ticket creation/updates so you can get a sense of how things happened in time.
Also, Fossil supports serving multiple repositories -- it's just a matter of how you start it, but since it's all integrated there's not a lot of reason to use that functionality usually. ChiselApp uses Flint ( https://chiselapp.com/user/rkeene/repository/flint/ https://chiselapp.com/user/rkeene/repository/flint/ ) to handle the administrative task of creating repositories, taking in repositories as uploads, resetting repository passwords if you have access to the ChiselApp dashboard, and performing scheduled pulls.
