Fossil is a general-purpose SCM tool, just like git, just with more features (integrated bug tracker, etc), so in theory you _could_ check /etc/ in to fossil as well.

Fossil is not the right job for that - there's a dozen entries in the ML archives explaining why. Short version: it doesn't do file permissions and system users, and many files in /etc require specific perms and owners.

Thanks for the correction, my knowledge of fossil is very shallow
