I recently switched from git to fossil as my preferred version control system, and its great!
For me who use it for hobby and fun there is not a single downside.
It has built-in wiki, forum and more.
It has a client side UI you can open in the browser to see it locally instead of on a web page.
Auto sync by default, great to avoid breaking conflicts.
Auto track added stuff, no need to manually git add changedfile.ext before each commit, as when it's added it is already tracked.
And more, I'm not really qualified to talk much as I could honestly host a server and use ssh for all I need.
But ask away! As Tony also likes it.
