It is interesting how SQLite is so well known but de SCM built on top of it, Fossil, and by the same author did not catch so much.

Sqlite filled a desperate need with no contenders, while Fossil, released in 2006, was going up against git and hg (both released a year earlier). Though Fossil is much more than a SCM (wiki, bug tracker, blog) and while not mainstream, is still used by tcl.tk and others.

SQLite itself is hosted on fossil, as is Tcl/Tk as you mention (and it's various satellite projects), and I know NetBSD was flirting with it too (no formal decision made yet on migrating from CVS afaik). I use fossil for all of my personal projects. It's more than capable, and a joy to use. Everybody should try it for a week. http://www.fossil-scm.org/
Being inside Chrome, Android, Firefox, Skype and other places (http://www.sqlite.org/famous.html), I'd argue that SQLite is by far the most widely deployed RDBMS in the world :-)
And, BTW, I love it too.
