> Isn't fossil younger than git? They were initially developed in parallel. To the very best of my recollection, Richard had no knowledge of git when he started fossil. Fossil's initial development dates back to 2005, IIRC, (edit: maybe 2006) initially as a TCL prototype. It wasn't developed in earnest in C until 2007 and was self-hosting by the end of 2007 (i discovered it around Christmas that year).
