Hi Gilles, I think it serves its basic purpose of getting people up and running, but of course you'll run into more questions soon after that. It might be good for example to clarify that it's not necessary to actually close a repository. Also, my first instinct was to try to convert my .gitignore file to a fossil equivalent. I wanted to do that per project, so I had to dig to find out how to do that (and that you can only do it from the command prompt). Then when I did a test commit, I got the hint about how to avoid having to type --no-warnings, but I had to discover for myself that the only variant of the crnl-glob command that works on Windows requires the asterisk to be in single quotes, i.e. fossil settings crnl-glob '*' --global. That might be a nice additional hint for Windows users. Your document does what it claims to do, so whether you want to add a couple of extra hints based on my newbie experience is entirely optional of course.
