Keep in mind that if everyone is using Fossil 1.30 or later, we never
need to have any check-ins in the repository and the first check-in
(if one exists) need not be artifact 1.  The code already takes care
of all of that.

The problem comes up when people try to use Fossil 1.27.  And we
cannot go reach into peoples machines and "fix" 1.27.  We have to work
around whatever it is that 1.27 does.
