AFAIR Fossil never complains about missing users, but it can hypothetically do things like create a link to a name which no longer exists in the user table. Since your user never actually created any changes, that won't be a (hypothetical) problem for you. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
