- petre 9y agoFossil is a great replacement for that kind of use case. You can fully convert a git or a svn repository with fossil import, so migration is painless. It's also painless for users since fossil is very easy to pick up compared to git and the basic commands are quite similar to svn. Branching and merging is a breeze compared to svn, quite like git but easier. It's also nice for companies that want everything in one place, since all developer repos sync with a central repo by default. It's also distributed in the sense that everything gets replicated to every repo that's in sync with the central repo (it does this automatically at fossil update or fossil sync) contains the full project history.
