Hi again,

Sorry for not answering your question in my previous post... I'm a bit
sleepy (it's about 1am my time).

Try double quotes. Just tested with no errors:

> fossil add "new file.txt"
ADDED  new file.txt

> fossil chan
ADDED      new file.txt

> fossil commit -m "new file added..."
New_Version: 4023b409f054b270412af3302e79ad20a67de5c0

However, I think you usually don't need to specify file names by hand.
It's enough to issue
'fossil add *' or 'fossil add a_dir' or 'fossil add "a_dir\b dir"' and
fossil will do the job you.
