I get this question, if I e.g. close a working copy and then re-open it again. Because 'fossil close' do not delete the files from the working copy, the 'fossil open' afterwards will recognize that -- during checkout -- the actual file being checked out does already exists (not deleted by 'fossil close'). So it will ask you if it is safe to overwrite it with the one currently checked out. Another situation where this could be happen is, if you have file names differ only by upcase/lowcase spelling and are checking out on a filesystem that regard e.g. 'FOO.c' and 'foo.c' as the same filename (e.g. NTFS or HFS+). Does one of this explanation is matching your environment? Best regards, chi.
