Thanks for the story, and the warning....
For a long time now, Fossil has accepted two possible names for the
check-out database: "_FOSSIL_" or ".fos". You can see this by doing:
mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
and then verifying that everything still works.
I'm wondering if I should make ".fos" the default instead of "_FOSSIL_".
Would xargs have picked up on the "dot-file" named ".fos" as it did with
_FOSSIL? Would the use of .fos instead of _FOSSIL_ have prevented this
problem?
