What do you get on the “tags:” line of the “fossil status” command’s output 
when run from the directory where you made that commit?

If it is anything other than “trunk,” your results are exactly what you should 
expect.

If they were the same, we wouldn’t need two different terms, now would we?

trunk is the name of a special branch that exists from the creation of the 
repository.  If you make no branches, you will only have the trunk.

tip is the most recent checkin on the most recently modified branch.

When the most recently modified branch is trunk, then tip and trunk happen to 
be the same.  Otherwise, they will point to different checkins.

That’s getting a bit old now.  Is there a good reason you can’t at least 
upgrade to the latest point release, 1.34?

I often use old binary versions of Fossil myself…just long enough to clone the 
fossil-scm.org repo and build the current trunk version.
