The ?VERSION? parameters to some commands are underdocumented for lack of space
in “fossil help” output. For example, the help for the “update” command
implies that you can only put a tag, branch, or version name here, with
“version” being a vague term, unhelpful to newbies.
The complete documentation for all of this is here:
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/checkin_names.wiki
We obviously cannot reproduce all of that in fossil help output, so how about
we just point to it, possibly making use of Fossil’s recent URL aliasing
feature to get something shorter like
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/names
With some help from whatever front-end proxy fossil-scm.org is using, it could
be even shorter:
https://fossil-scm.org/names
Then we can say something like this in the fossil help output:
"The VERSION argument can take many forms, all documented
at https://fossil-scm.org/names”
