*Thanks for the quick response but I don't think you answered the
question.  I was notified of the confict by syncing user 2's repository with
the server using the "fossil update" command.  Your  "then resolve the
conflict locally" is what I want information on as there does not appear to
be any way to determine what the conflict is.  Usually with CVS or
subversion you get a copy of the file with a special extension   that either
tells you that it is the main trunks version of the file. You can then merge
it with your version of the file to arrive at a version that is compatible
with the server version.  Fossil is not doing that for me so how do I
resolve a conflict.
*user 1 - > change file x
user 1 ->  fossil commit -m "changes to x "
user 1 ->  fossil update
user 2 -> change file x
user 2 -> fossil commit -m "my changes to x"
user 2 -> fossil update
CONFLICT  x

You need to sync the server back to the user 2 first, then resolve the
conflict locally and push back to server.

(I'm guessing this is your 1st time around the block with a DVCS?)
