Gmail does have its advantages:
"Please recompile fossil using the latest sources, especially this patch:
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/vdiff/4881
Then run one or the following commands before attempting to use fossil:
export FOSSIL_VFS=unix-none
export FOSSIL_VFS=unix-dotfile
The first command above will disable file locking completely. The
second will shift fossil to use dot-file locking instead of posix
advisory locking. Please let me know if either of these fixes your
problem.
Note that you will need to set the FOSSIL_VFS environment variable in
each shell before you start using fossil in that shell."
