While I would like to see that behavior become the default, too, I can forgive 
the Fossil developers for indicating at one point that this behavior would 
change at “Fossil 2.0”, since they clearly had no idea at the time that they’d 
be using that number for something entirely different.

Maybe for Fossil 2.2, though, after all this SHA3 brouhaha quiets down, and 
after the Fossil devs have had time to clear the backlog of SQLite issues that 
have built up as a result of this digression?

I’ve been running my Fossil binaries configured like this for a couple of years 
now, probably.  There have been no serious problems.

I put the qualifier in there because Fossil isn’t always smart about mv --hard 
in the face of multiple files.  I’ve found it best to wrap such things up in a 
“for” loop at the shell prompt whenever I’m doing something the slightest bit 
tricky.  

(Sorry, no simple test case available at this time.)
