Hi,

I've been experimenting with fossil for some private projects of mine
and now want to use the 'branch' facility.  According to the 'help'
text for 'branch', the syntax to create a new branch is:

  fossil branch new BRANCH-NAME BASIS ?OPTIONS?

but it doesn't explain what BASIS is.

Looking at the Jim Schimpf book, I see he gives as an example:

  fossil branch new VER_1.0 trunk -bgcolor 0xFFC0FF

Trying this on one of my own repositories, I tried:

  % ls -l recepsum.fossil
  -rw-r--r--  1 william  william  129024 Apr 30 21:17 recepsum.fossil

  % fossil branch new UI trunk -R recepsum.fossil
  fossil: use --repository or -R to specify the repository database

Excuse me if I've missed something obvious here, but I've been staring
at this and don't see what I'm doing wrong.
