Hi guys,

I'm assuming something wrong about how fossil works (WinXP)

First I made a little repository, called 'test', and then deleted the
file. That repository contained, let's say files A,B and C.
I thought fossil had "forgotten" about this repository in the moment I
deleted the "test" file... is this assumption correct?

Continuing, I tried creating a fossil repository on all my config
files (going two folders up, btw). The repository name was the same
(test):

c:/test (has a bunch of .el files)
fossil init
fossil add *
fossil commit -m "Initial commit"

then I tried to clone
cd c:/test2
fossil clone ../test/test test
fossil open test

Doing this, instead of seeing all my config files, it just recreated
A,B and C (from the first repo that I had deleted)

After a couple tries, I tried to just copy the file instead:

cd c:/test2
copy ../test/test test
fossil open test

which then recreates the correct files.

Any idea on what can be happening here? How are both operations (clone
and copy) different on this case?
What's up with reusing names for repositories on different folders?

TIA
Hugo
