Yes. Just for clarification, it is only necessary to delete _FOSSIL_. You can also type "fossil close" to do the same thing. I suppose running "fossil close" should be the preferred approach, since with that we can handle any other cleanup that might arise in future versions of fossil. Sort of related, but not really: You can rename _FOSSIL_ to .FOSSIL so that it does not show up in directory listings if you do not want to see it. D.
