I used Fossil for a while, and I liked it a lot. But after using it with my team, and having to host it internally (something I didn't have the time to do properly being a startup), and programmers complaining about the conflict resolution process, we moved our projects over to git/GitHub. Honestly, I haven't looked back, even though I much preferred Fossil's simplicity.

Can you elaborate on the problems you had with conflict resolution? I used Fossil for a couple of personal projects and made a mental note to try it out instead of Git next time I had to host a code repository on a local server.

"...complaining about the conflict resolution process..."

In Fossil? Absurd. i don't know that i have ever, without help from a git professional, successfully resolved a merge conflict in git. In fossil it's trivial.
