Minor issue but should probably be clarified.

Either the text is wrong, or the  behavior is wrong. One of them must be
fixed. I believe it is not creating  a new user that matches your login,
but rather  is preserving  the user  that exists  in the  source fossil,
perhaps it is related to this comment I made:

You are doing a file clone.  Other types of cloning do not do this:

$ fossil clone -A someone ssh://remote//tmp/test.fossil new.fossil
...
project-id: 78f3c64bd97f33cb0a7606842ca83ddf25776819
admin-user: someone (password is "2c9149")
$ fossil user -R new.fossil list
anonymous    Anon
developer    Dev
nobody       Nobody
reader       Reader
someone

Email addresses. Private branches in the repository. IP addresses. There
is an option to scrub the fossil of sensitive info.

fossil help scrub
