Thanks. > I don't think the number of developers really comes into play. What matters more is the number of files in a single checkin and the total size of all those files. Fossil itself is 225KLOC or 7.8MB in 291 files. Fossil was designed to manage the development of SQLite which is 500KLOC or 17MB in 895 files. The sqllogictest test suite for SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org/slt/) is 45MLOC or 1.1GB in 645 files. The TH3 test suite for SQLite is 415KLOC or 26MB in 985 files. I keep all of my OpenOffice slide presentations in a single Fossil repository. This is a directory full of binary files, most of which are measured in megabytes. The complete checkout is 110MB. All of the above work great.
