here's how it works for me: scene file with green sphere, works + looks ok,
commit the file.  now make a small change, say sphere to red, but doesn't look
right, want to go back to green, revert the file.  I don't use git other than to
clone some code, so cannot comment, but with fossil everything is in a single
(usually local) db, and the command lines could look like:
  $ fossil commit -m 'green sphere'
now edit scene to 'red' sphere, and render it:
  $ vi mysphere.pov
  $ povray +imysphere.pov
don't like the result:
  $ fossil revert
  $ povray +imysphere.pov

renders the green again.  maybe I just misunderstood?
