Just make a copy of the template repository. If you want to change the
"project id" you can do that using:
fossil test-detach copied-repo.fossil
If you don't like using a "test" command in Fossil, you can do the same in
SQLite:
sqlite3 copied-repo.fossil "UPDATE config SET
value=lower(hex(randomblob(20))) WHERE value='project-code'"
