While Fossil does allow offline operation and local independent clones,
its default mode of operation is to try and keep the clones in sync as
much as possible.  Git works the way it does because it was designed to
meet the needs of the Linux kernel development project, which is
inherently federated, so Git tries to operate in a federated model as
well.  Fossil is better for smaller, more coherent teams, where there is
a single, clear goal for the project and a single source for its
official code.  Fossil helps remote developers cooperate, whereas Git
helps remote developers go off on their own tangents for extended
periods of time and optionally sync back up with each other
occasionally.

Fossil is a better match for the way the PiDP-8/I software project
works: we want you to cooperate closely with us, not go off on wild
tangents.
