> A question rarely raised: why is Git considered suitable for small or medium projects? Quite frankly, _it's not_. There's _absolutely nothing_ ideal about git except for its ability to super-scale to that _exceedingly small_ percentage of projects which need that level of scaling. That's its _one and only_ killer feature. If it weren't for github and its ilk, git would be just another second-tier tool like the rest of the SCMs. Unlike every(?) other SCM, fossil doesn't require 3rd-party tools to host over CGI: that's built right in to it and CGI works on even the cheapest of shared-hosting platforms, so no equivalent of github is required in order to host one's own repositories. Granted, as a long-time fossil dev and advocate, i'm _severely_ biased in this regard, but there's are _reasons_ i prefer fossil over git, why i use it for _all_ of my own projects (fossil.wanderinghorse.net), and why i support and advocate for it (just not for that small tier of "uncommonly large" projects, as fossil has, quite frankly, no business being used there).
