My heart jumped with joy when I saw this post. Fossil is such an ingenious system, and, if you are not aware, has been created by the very D. Richard Hipp who created Sqlite. Here is a technical overview: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/tip/www/tech_overview.wiki

Fossil may never become the VCS that rules the world. But, for note taking, it has some very attractive features:

- it is a single executable, written in C with very litte resource requirements

- the file format (an Sqlite database) is designed as an "enduring file format"

- it has an integrated scripting language

For a very long time now I have been considering to port my own note taking system, knowfox, to Fossil. Inspired by this post I might finally come around doing it.
