I do the same thing (store all my personal data in Fossil). I like that I can save a file in markdown format and it's rendered automatically when I view the file online. (Not unlike Github, but Github is a proprietary service.) For my purposes, I don't see any advantage of Perkeep over Fossil. I know when I use Fossil that I can trust my system and that I will always have control of my data, and that reduces my stress levels. I have enough things to worry about without worrying about my data disappearing. I don't use the feature very often, but Fossil supports unversioned files, which allows me to delete a 500 MB file from the repo if I no longer need it.
