Fossil does that too -- each repo can be used to restart the whole project.
It lacks the rebase function, favoring keeping all history, while allowing a delete
here and there to get rid of an accidental commit of bug jpg file or such.

Fossil has a unifying feature for a project like gEDA/PCB with a hand full of developers:
Every branch of the project is available to all if they have a repo of the same name
as the main project, unless someone cloned, checked out and then never did the update command.
The built in website is another unifying feature for communication about the project state of
development for a group of occasional programmers like us.  Importing from git is easy,
so switching would not be a big expense of time.  The command set is much easier to use by an
occasional programmer... http://stevebennett.me/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git/
