...however, after some more toying using 'update', I see that some directories that did not exist at the time of the checkout/tag (as reported by 'fossil status') do now exist locally. 'fossil extra' or 'fossil status' hint that the local tree is up-to-date w.r.t. the checkout/tag. I think I don't understand the logic behind 'checkout' and/or 'update' 100%... Time to play some more.
