In some  parts of Fossil, //  has a different  meaning than / in  a URL.
Specifically,  it's  the  difference  between an  absolute  path  and  a
relative path when cloning. E.g.,

The following  will clone  relative to  the user  home directory,  so it
results in the server looking for a file named /home/user/repo.fossil:

fossil clone ssh://user@server/repo.fossil

The  following will  clone  with an  absolute path  beginning  at /  and
looking for exactly /repo.fossil in the filesystem:

fossil clone ssh://server//repo.fossil
