It's wild speculation. :-(

First of all I do not see anything wrong if Fossil adopt some of the
good ideas present in DVCS predecessors - e.g. using Sqlite for keeping
artifacts (as Monotone).

Second, ability to 'uncommit' is nothing specific to Git. Such feature
is present in every DVCS (hg,bzr, mnt) I use(d) since Darcs which
I used 9 years ago.

Third...some of the points which I mentioned were discussed and/or asked
for by other people as well and as far as I'm concerned I used Fossil
two years ago while fiddling with Git is a recent affair of mine.

Lastly, I do not believe that Git promoters are interested in anything
except Fossil and do not care much what features other DVCS-es have.

Fortunately, Richard is reasonable person integrating best of the
features of other DVCS and learning based on other's mistake...clear
sign of wisdom.

I'm just interested which version of Fossil is frozen for you 'cause
there is no place for improving it any longer. :-)
