Ack - I should have mentioned: fossil only, no venti - no snapshots. So, assuming a non-venti server: when removing users from the fossil filesystem, there's no effective difference whether I do so by manually editing /adm/users versus fscons: users -r/-w [file] ? I'm just slowly trying to accumulate "best practices" for my documentation efforts.
