Fossil is superfine and I'd like it for various reasons too, but unfortunately it does not scale to the OpenBSD repo size well.
As a test, you can try and clone fossil repo of NetBSD and I'm sure you will find out quickly why people are working on GoT and OpenGIT.

Git is the most popular VCS (and most ugly), meanwhile there are people who prefer to reimplement it because they don't like its license... FreeBSD is working on OpenGit, OpenBSD is working on Game of Trees, but why reimplement the wheel instead of using a better solution: Fossil? I like CVS and SQLite used CVS in the past and then they INNOVATED Fossil - distributed version control system, usable as CVS, it has neat autosync feature, I don't need to explicitly use push and pull because that happens automatically. Fossil can also work with multiple branches at once (Git can work only with one branch at time). And Fossil's web UI is amazing, have you ever seen Fossil's timeline? I am sure people behind Fossil are the people who love CVS, they made CVS perfect (unlike people behind SVN). I am running Fossil to synchronize my ports work on laptop and computer and I am amazed how easy it is, how I wish I had my own domain to share my work (both finished and WIP) to public...
