If that's happening, it's possibly because some directories are symlinks
which point to outside your 'open' root. AFAIK, fossil won't (or won't
always, depending on how symlinked paths are resolved) necessarily behave
intuitively. It is intended that all files in a given checkout/repo live in
the same directory hierarchy. If you are NOT using symlinks and you still
get these errors while inside your repo then you seem to have found a bug.

'open' is analogous to the 'checkout' command of subversion or cvs. All that
'close' does is, to make an analogy based on subversion, is remove the .svn
subdirs from the current checkout. i.e. it removes the checkout-contained
version control metadata, such that the directory will no longer be
considered to be a checked out copy of the repo.
