I have not had good luck removing anything permanently from fossil. Maybe I'm missing something, but fossil doesn't like to let go of anything. I wonder if there is a bug with adding hidden files. I don't have time to investigate right now, but if you could create a simple script that reproduces the problem that would be helpful. I think it would be reasonable for fossil not to add hidden files by default and create an option that will add hidden files, e.g. fossil add *.* --add-hidden.
