And the _connotation_ of the term "fork" within the Fossil community is unintended/accidental commit to a parent commit with other child commits. My point is that Fossil uses the term "fork" differently from many other many other open source projects. Examples: "Devuan" is a fork of Debian, "Inkscape" is a fork of "Sodapodi", etc. Or, how Github uses it to mean a "contributor's clone". Unfortunately, other DVCs don't seem to have a name for these accidental commits/branches, other than, for example (in Hg), "accidental head". So I don't know of an alternative term already in use to suggest. Not can I think of any other alternative term to suggest.
