The single file repository is super convenient for one person projects, but just a word of caution to fossil users - backup the repo file often. A while back I downgraded the fossil binary (by accident) and committed a change to a local repo which caused it to be corrupted. It was a repeatable thing, and was annoying at the time, but not a showstopper. I only lost a day's worth of work. I wish fossil had done a version check between the binary and the repo to refuse to alter the repo if the binary version was incompatible.
