This use of settings for things which affect the checked out repository was a 
big stumbling block for me while I was getting into fossil.

I've got some changes in a branch which resolve this with 'versionable' 
settings, where the values optionally go in files called 
.fossil-settings/[setting]

  http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?r=ben-testing

It allows mixed use of settings and these versioned settings for a clean 
migration.

Do have a play, feedback is welcomed. I've been using this version for a good 
few weeks, and it's so much easier to understand.

Type

  fossil help settings

for details!
