Many years ago I was using fossil for OpenBSD development to manage my patches.
Around that time I tried to import the entire OpenBSD src repository into fossil, by importing the CVS-to-git conversion of src, as published on Github. I was following the official git->fossil migration guide. I left this running for a week (or two?) at which point the fossil git loader was loading OpenBSD commits from somewhere around the 2000s. At that point I stopped the process. Performance might be better today, I don't know. And perhaps post-conversion run-time performance is much better, but I never got that far. Anyone can try to reproduce these results by running the same conversion today.
I don't think I ever talked about my attempts with fossil to anyone at the time. But I recall the topic coming up somewhere when the Game of Trees project became public, and someone suggested I should be using fossil instead.
I am now using Game of Trees for all my OpenBSD development work and I am happy with it.
