Stephan - i'm on mobile ATM so will be brief, but you and I did discussed
this offline weeks ago whereby I thought we agreed that changing the text
of the initial commit to something symbolic ("."?) or inoffensive Latin
("seed ", "origin") really would fit the bill without rejigging core fossil
operations. If you beat me to it, feel free to post the gist of our
conversation. I am (and have been) with drh on this: it's sort of silly,
and causing much more grief than its worth. At best this should be in a "
no_origin" (or whatever one calls this feature) branch, and hopefully a
non-default option if it moves to trunk.
