    \title Fossil

    \brief Additional Fossil functions.

    Fossil is an open source distributed version control system, designed
    and developed by the creator of SQLite. A stand-alone Fossil executable
    has a source control management engine, web interface, issue tracker,
    wiki, and built-in web server. Fossil is available for Linux, Windows,
    and \macos.

    \note Enable the Fossil plugin to use it.

    To use Fossil from \QC, you must install and configure it, as described in
    the following sections.

    \section1 Configuring Fossil

    \list 1
        \li Download the \l{http://fossil-scm.org}{Fossil SCM client} and
            install the \c fossil executable file in your \c PATH.

        \li Create or designate a directory to store local Fossil repositories
            and remote clones. For example: \c ~/fossils/qt.

        \li Select \preferences >
            \uicontrol {Version Control} > \uicontrol Fossil, and set the
            designated directory in the \uicontrol {Default path} field.
