Here's a use case I ran into the other day. I am using a fossil
repository that contains only tickets. Since tickets don't
autosynch there doesn't seem to be much advantage to cloning it.
We host the repository on our internal web server, and access its
ticket system from there. Even for my other repositories where
there is content and ongoing checkin, push, and pull activity, it
is still often simpler to just fuss with tickets in the "master"
copy rather than in any of the clones on developer desks.

 From home, I have a VPN tunnel into my office network that lets
me see that web server and log in to the repository. But that
login competes with the last login from the browser on my office
PC, unless I create a second account for me at home.

I would like to be logged in from home, laptop, and office to the
same user identity simultaneously. I haven't investigated how the
login cookie is actually implemented in fossil so I don't know
how hard it would be to relax this restriction.
