<h1>Fossil: Distributed Revision Control, Wiki, and Bug-Tracking</h1>
<p>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control">
distributed software revision control system</a> that includes an integrated
<a href="wikitheory.wiki">wiki</a> and an integrated
<a href="bugtheory.wiki">bug-tracking system</a> all in a single,
Fossil is
<a href="http://www.fossil-scm.org/">self-hosting</a>
<a href="http://www.hwaci.com/cgi-bin/fossil">two separate servers</a>.
