As as an  amateur user of Git, Git wasn't  working for me---perhaps this
is simply due to misunderstanding ``core'' features of Git. At any rate,
thanks to Git I discovered Fossil  and have been pleased with the sanity
of its  design. It seems  that whatever I've wanted  to do with  Git was
always easier and  simpler to do with Fossil. I'm  not, however, a power
user and perhaps that is why Git is not my preferred tool.

This doesn't mean Fossil  is perfect or a perfect fit  in all cases, but
having used Git, Hg, Darcs, and Fossil, I definitely prefer Fossil.

I've always thought  the ``staging'' area was messy, even  before I knew
about Fossil---again, I'm no Git expert, just making some observations.
