TBH, I'd probably suggest that if you omit the directory name, then Fossil will create one named after the repository and open it there. This would mimic the behaviour of most other DVCSes and solve one of the most common complaints I've seen about Fossil. In fact, it may also be a good idea to allow: $ fossil open <url> ...which would automatically clone the URL and then open it. That way people can get started with someone else's repository in a single step; right now it's four (clone, mkdir, cd, open). -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from │ malice." -- Vernon Schryver
