Thanks, I will have a look at it (it will be only towards the end of the month though, holiday first)!
The reason why this functionality would be very interesting to us is because we mainly use Fossil for paper writing. And its very convenient to upload datasets as well as PDFs of reports/refrences/typeset paper to the repo in order to share it with others. These files are usually large binary files and there is not much value in them being versioned because they can be recreated easily if needed. Usually, only the latest version of these files is relevant to all users of the repository. I had to shun a number of repos because some users have been continuously committing redundant 300MB+ large datasets (as my users are not programmers its very difficult to keep them following best practices). Ability to add non-versioned files to our repos would solve this major headache and be a major QOL improvement to my users.
