The repository should not be in the directory were you work!
e.g
mkdir c:\src\myproject
fossil new c:\src\gilles.fossil
cd c:\src\myproject
fossil open ../gilles.fossil

doesn't matter much

You need to add "" around the name.
You might get into trouble when issuing
fossil add *

The editor you used wasn't started in that directory.
open a dos box and cd into c:\src\myproject
start your editor

Depends if I would be using the editor vim I could issue
:cd c:\myproject (make sure I'm in the checkout directory)
:!c:\fossil.exe commit -m "Nocomment"
