+1 for this. I love having a self-contained, syncable GitHub-lite. It uses SQLite for the format, too, which makes it easy to discover the internals.

It just needs some more 'modern' themes

My chance at sharing Fossil is not Relational. The two times it's been submitted to HN it didn't gain votes.

Thanks for that. I kind of wondered how SQLite was relevant to SCM, but I hadn't really bothered to investigate it. Still, having it in a format that can be browsed and reasoned about is handy. Not that Git is any worse in this regard.

Plus, the only thing I need to do to transfer it to a new disk or network location is to move the `.fossil` file, since everything is nicely self-contained.
