I guess humor and irony are lost on some folks.

Would you be happy if I said it was pronounced
"fasces" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces )?  Even Lincoln liked
those. :-)

As a side note, the use of the name "fascist" is actually a dig at other
revision control systems that insist of enforcing a fascist regime run
by developers for developers.  The goal is to give the user fascist
control over their own domain, but prevent them controlling anyone else
without their permission.  Thus the irony of the project is that the
tool removes fascism by giving individuals control and the freedom to
distribute at will.

But, thanks for the feedback.  I know the name sucks but I can't think
of anything else.
