A comment on SQLite: QEMU All over Again?. Parent comment

Fossil is not less modern than Git, just less popular.

Under the hood it seems a lot like Git. The UI is more Hg-like. I disagree with D. Richard Hipp's dislike of rebasing, but he's entitled to that opinion, and a lot of people agree with him.

Calling Fossil "not modern" is a real turn-off. TFA seems to be arguing for buzzwords over substance.

Perhaps it should pick a better name :P

Why? Fossil is a great name, since the past of a software project is... fossilized in the VCS, and looking through it is like doing archeology. No, Fossil's a great name. I just wish it adopted rebase as an optional workflow.
