Overview
Comment: | Moved all of the "Features found in Fossil but not in Git" up from section 3.1 into section 2.1 Featureful of the fossil-v-git doc, where such differences are otherwise covered. Removed section 3.2, giving the opposite case, since all of the Git features not found in Fossil are already covered elsewhere in the doc, sometimes more than once, as with the rebase issue. |

These additional capabilities are available for Git as 3rd-party add-ons, but with Fossil they are integrated into the design. One way to describe Fossil is that it is "[https://github.com/ | GitHub]-in-a-box." Fossil can do operations over all local repo clones and check-out directories with a single command. For example, Fossil lets you say <tt>fossil all pull</tt> on a laptop prior to taking it off the network hosting those repos. You can sync up to all of the private repos on your company network plus those public Internet-hosted repos you use. Whether going out for a working lunch or on a transoceanic an airplane trip, one command gets you in sync. This works with several other Fossil sub-commands, such as <tt>fossil all changes</tt> to get a list of files that you forgot to commit prior to the end of your working day, across all repos. Whenever Fossil is told to modify the local checkout in some destructive way ([/help?cmd=rm|fossil rm], [/help?cmd=update|fossil update], [/help?cmd=revert|fossil revert], etc.) Fossil remembers the prior state and is able to return the check-out directory to that state with a <tt>fossil undo</tt> command. You cannot undo a commit in Fossil ([#history | on purpose!]) but as long as the change remains confined to the local check-out directory only, Fossil makes undo [https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things|easier than in Git]. For developers who choose to self-host projects (rather than using a 3rd-party service such as GitHub) Fossil is much easier to set up, since the stand-alone Fossil executable together with a [./server/any/cgi.md|2-line CGI script] suffice to instantiate a full-featured developer website.
