Fossil has always seemed like a step up from `git` to me. Better defaults, a holistic solution, much more human-friendly interface and the format is better for working with code-wise as well, for querying and all that. That being said it's not a drop-in replacement and no one uses it, so it's not as if you can enjoy how much better it is very easily. https://fossil-scm.org/ https://fossil-scm.org/

NetBSD has been exporting into Fossil since 2011, it's really nice; in fact, the export into GitHub Git is done through an intermediary read-only Fossil repository: http://wiki.netbsd.org/github/ http://wiki.netbsd.org/github/ https://src.fossil.netbsd.org/ https://src.fossil.netbsd.org/ Sadly, somehow the transition to the next VCS has been set to HG, which really makes no sense to me at all; Mercurial is not even BSD licensed, whereas Fossil is; plus, HG is just dead (even Bitbucket discontinued it); the decision to go HG in 2020+ really makes no sense, and I didn't even see anyone argument it; hopefully, it's reversed before it goes through.
