Should I open a ticket for the proposed new behavior for "fossil new"? I know of several projects that use this Git repository method to jumpstart new projects/web apps based on them, so it's definitely not unheard of. Basically, "fossil new myproject.fossil http://my.fossil.server/template"; would first run a clone, then swap out the project-code with a new random value. In any case, thanks for the test command.
