>"I looked at Git, I looked at Mercurial, and I looked at my requirements and I thought, “You know what? I’m just going to write my own,” so I wrote my own version control system, which is now a project unto itself, and that worked out very, very well, because think, Linus Torvalds wrote Git to support the Linux kernel, and it is perfectly designed to serve the needs of the Linux kernel development community. If you’re working on the Linux kernel, Git is absolutely the perfect version control system.
>Now, if you’re working on something else, though, maybe not so much, and so, it’s a perfectly atrocious version control system for working for SQLite.
>Fossil is absolutely the perfect version control system for working in SQLite, and I wrote it for that purpose, and so, because I wrote it myself, it exactly meets my needs and is the perfect product for what it’s doing, so by doing things yourself, you control your own destiny, you have more freedom, you’re not dependent upon third parties."
