Fossil to support the development of [https://sqlite.org/|SQLite].
SQLite is much more widely deployed than the Linux kernel, but for
Linux-based systems, the kernel is the more fundamental component.
Although both projects must rank high on any objective list of "most
important FOSS projects," the two projects are almost entirely unlike
In the following three sections, we will explain the key differences in
Linux vs. SQLite which affected the designed-in low-friction usage path
for the DVCSes created to support each one's development.

Both projects must rank high on any objective list of "most
important FOSS projects," yet these two projects are almost entirely unlike
one another.
In the following sections, we will explain how three key differences
between Linux and SQLite dictated the design of each DVCS's low-friction
usage path.
When deciding between these two DVCSes, you should ask yourself, "Is my
project more like Linux or more like SQLite?"
