shared instead of private. Just want to say thanks for fossil making my 
life easier on most of my projects, and being able to move commits to 
another branch after the fact and shared-by-default branches are good 
features. Also not having a misanthropic command line interface.

anywhere near that size or complexity.


In summary:

I remember my first reaction to fossil being, "this will be an
excellent solution for small projects [like the dozens we've all got
sitting on our hard drives but which don't justify the hassle of
version control]." A year of daily use in over 15 source trees has
confirmed that, and I continue to heartily recommend fossil to other
developers I know who also have their own collection of "unhosted" pet
projects.
