I tried this command: ./fossil branch -R groupcomm.fossil new spread
groupcomm.fossil

I got this response: ./fossil: unable to locate check-in off of which to branch

I then tried to make sure that the groupcomm.fossil repository was the
one that was "open" by doing ./fossil open groupcomm.fossil and I get
the same original error message: ./fossil: repository does not exist
or is in an unreadable directory: /home/drh/sqlite/fossil.fossil

It seems to me there is some misconfiguration with Fossil where it's
referencing a directory that simply doesn't exist and it isn't looking
where I've installed it to.

Thanks for you replies so far!
