Version control with Fossil

Regarding the project size, your comparison is more than a little misleading. Yes, Linux started as a one-man hobby. But, from it's outset, it was a Unix-like Operating System Kernel. It's obvious that it has the potential to be a huge project. It's also probably one of the largest single pieces of software out there (where largest is defined as being larger than 99% of software projects by lines of code and number of developers).

Most projects that most people are involved with are, by their nature and design, simply lacking in the potential to ever get that big. In that unlikely (probably 1 in 100,000+) chance that a project does unexpectedly get that big, Fossil supports import and export to Git. So you export your source history to Git, and you keep on going with your (monstrously huge) project.
