It sounds like you have something like:

x/y/z

Where you have added the files from  z into the root of a repository and
now  you want  to  add x/y.  So,  why  not just  copy  x/y (without  z),
add/commit them, and then  use fossil rename and move z  back to the x/y
in the repository?

You can  do this all in  a test clone of  your repository to see  if you
like how it works out.

Unless you use fossil rename.

If this is not correct, please provide more details.
