TLD;DR: no.

Full story:

  - sqlite uses fossil as its VCS;

  - cloning a fossil repo creates a single file (the DB) in the current
    directory;

  - "checking out" the repository is also done in the curent directory,
    polluting it;

  - there is no "fossil log" command;

  - the content of the fossil repository is clearly not aligned with
    that of the tarball;

  - there is autostuff in the repository, but it is in a sub-dorectory,
    and there is no explanation on how to use it; there is no explanation
    on how to generate the archive from the repository;

  - the mailing list are not very newbie-friendly: they are
    subscription-only (OK) but even the archives require subscription to
    be browsed (not OK).

So, in the end, I just threw in the towel...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
