Richard asked that I give more information on ticket 1e919e389b
here on the mailing list.

What I was seeing, and reported in that ticket, was this:

* I was running on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
* I did a "fossil all sync" to sync a local repository with the
   one on my web server; I saw the "delta" and "artifact"
   numbers being received that I expected.
* I went to my local work area and did a "fossil update".  It
   returned silently, when I knew it should not.
* I then did a "fossil open" in a new directory, and got the
   checkout I expected.
* I then checked another project's repository and had the same
   experience with that one.
* In both cases, "fossil status" indicated that I was up-to-date
   with the trunk.

Richard then asked that I try a number of things:

* What do you see if you "strace" in front of "fossil update":
   * A whole lot of stuff, which I was at a loss to interpret.
     What should I be looking for?
* What do you see if you use "--sqltrace"?
   * Again, a whole lot of stuff.  What should I be looking for?
     I can attach it to an e-mail if you like.
* Does "fossil update" work if you specify a specific version to
   check out?
   * YES, it does.
* Have I tried running fossil in a debugger to see what is going on?
   * Nope.  I'm not building it myself.
* What commands actually work?
   * "fossil sync" works.
   * "fossil ui" works.
   * "fossil status" reports a different checkout UUID than the head
     and reports the same as fossil status.
   * "fossil info" reports the same.
   * "fossil extras" shows the files I'd expect.

I think the overall sequence of events might have been something
like this:

* I have two laptops, A and B, and a web server.
* I had made changes on A, and done a "fossil commit".  I suspect
   that these changes had NOT been synced with the repository
   on the web server.
* I had made changes on B, and done a "fossil commit" followed
   by a "fossil sync".  These changes were to different files than
   the changes on A.
* I then did a "fossil sync" on A.
* And then "fossil update" in the working directories on A didn't
   update anything.

Any ideas?
