This would also guard against unplanned/accidental use of same branch name in a repo with tens of older inactive branches one cannot possible remember at all times.

That is correct, and it is by design.  Fossil allows any number of

On second thought, perhaps it would be worthwhile to enhance Fossil so
that it issued a warning if you include a --branch argument on "fossil
commit" with the same name as an existing open branch, and actually
fail the commit unless the --force flag is also present.  Perhaps such
a change would make Fossil easier to transition to from other systems.
Does anybody else having any feelings one way or another about this?
