OK, thanks. But, what would be wrong with using / which is closer semantically, and compatible to both Linux and Windows path syntax?

There's not currently, and if someone wants to implement it i would suggest : as a prefix, since fossil does not allow : in file names (for Windows compatibility). ----- stephan Sent from a mobile device, possibly from bed.

Similar to how one uses ~ to refer to home path in Linux, although I’m interested for this to work in Windows also. I tried both ~ and / with no success. (I guess / would be the obvious way to do this as it’s the checkout’s logical root.) Is there a way to do this?
