a minor thing, but still -- I would propose the following changes w.r.t.
this fix:
1. move the new `abbreviated name' into the same frame and immediately
below the `project name' (or at least mv the `abbreviated name' above
`project description').
2. call it something different (e.g. `archive name prefix')
3. change the explanation for this field to something like "specify a
name prefix for generated tarballs and zip files. If left empty the
project name is used."
I believe this would help to make the user aware that project name and
abbreviated name are both potentially influencing the tarball name prefix.
more important, the current explanation is a bit misleading since there is
of course no need to make the prefix an abbreviation of the project name.
one might very well decide to use
a) a static string (e.g. "fossil_archive")
b) the basename of the fossil repo (as proposed by ron wilson -- this
could be a sensible default for this field I presume)
c) the name of the respective application/document contained in the repo
