Git was specifically designed to support the development of Linux. Fossil was specifically designed to support the development of SQLite.

Both SQLite and Linux are important pieces of software. SQLite is found on far more systems than Linux. (Almost every Linux system uses SQLite, but there are many non-Linux systems such as iPhones, PlayStations, and Windows PC that use SQLite.) On the other hand, for those systems that do use Linux, Linux is a far more important component.

Linux uses a bazaar-style development model. There are thousands and thousands of contributors, most of whom do not know each others names. Git is designed for this scenario.

SQLite uses cathedral-style development. 95% of the code in SQLite comes from just three programmers, 64% from just the lead developer. And all SQLite developers know each other well and interact daily. Fossil is designed for this development model.
