First off, thank you for all your work on behalf of Earth.
I am not as familiar with Fossil, but it seems that one use case Fossil may be well positioned to address, is the storage and revision of data sets along with data analyses.
For people working with any significant quantity of data, git was a backslide as compared to svn. For people wanting to do reproducible research, git does a great job storing the code, but the data assets must be stored out-of-band if they aren’t tiny.
Any thoughts as to how Fossil might or might not address that use case?
EDIT: I should add that, in addition to data uses, I’ve heard tell that git isn’t great for storing art assets along with code (e.g. video game development)
