I simply cannot stand Git considering it's too complex as a DVCS tool
forcing one to think more about the the tool than I'm ready to do.

Maybe I'm just spoiled with Darcs. ;)

Afaik, it's possible to push private branches as well, but, I agree,
Fossil is mostly 'all or nothing'.

I'd like to be able to get rid (or as HG says 'close') of old

need to resort too many different hacks.

quickly find out that the commit was simply mistake...
