Fossil is easy to build from sources. Just run
"<tt>./configure && make</tt>" on POSIX systems and
"<tt>nmake /f Makefile.msc</tt>" on Windows.

Contrast a basic installation of Git, which takes up about
15&nbsp;MiB on Debian 10 across 230 files, not counting the contents of
<tt>/usr/share/doc</tt> or <tt>/usr/share/locale</tt>. If you need to
deploy to any platform where you cannot count facilities like the POSIX
shell, Perl interpreter, and Tcl/Tk platform needed to fully use Git
as part of the base platform, the full footprint of a Git installation
extends to more like 45&nbsp;MiB and thousands of files. This complicates
several common scenarios: Git for Windows, chrooted Git servers,
Docker images...

Some say that Git more closely adheres to the Unix philosophy,
