I love the concept of Fossil being in SQLite, but there's a reason that Mercurial invented revlogs and Git tries to keep related objects close to each other in packfiles. Sometimes, you really do need a dedicated file format optimized for specific use cases. I'm completely unsurprised OpenBSD wasn't able to pull this off.
(Kiln split the difference by storing metadata in SQL Server, but keeping all the actual source data in their native formats. This works great, but is only really viable if you can guarantee things never get out of sync, which is basically impossible for random local Git repos.)
