I hinted at this before, but now I  understand what is going on so I can
communicate it properly.  Basically, there is a minor  caveat when using
clone --once due  to the recently introduced clone  behavior that causes
the default admin user to be inherited from the URL user.

After cloning  with --once,  any operations in  the opened  fossil won't
know who the user is (including setting the default).

$ fossil up
Cannot figure out who you are!  Consider using the --user
command line option, setting your USER environment variable,
or setting a default user with "fossil user default USER".
cannot determine user

Obviously it works if I follow the instructions:

$ env USER=tester fossil up

Does this need to be documented more than what is already displayed here
(e.g. the warning from fossil up and fossil user)?
