I tried to add a tag to my fossil. After looking at the documentation which
said:

I did the following:
: ~/fs/Optijava ; fs tag add -n --user-override shruthi pre-dissertation
e5b61ea041
not found: pre-dissertation
: ~/fs/Optijava ; fs help tag|less
: ~/fs/Optijava ; fs tag add -n --user-override shruthi e5b61ea041
pre-dissertation
: ~/fs/Optijava ; fs time
=== 2017-12-16 ===
15:11:16 [5b755ab016] Edit [e5b61ea04194cb41|e5b61ea041]: Add tag "shruthi"
with note "pre-dissertation". (user: dmason)
=== 2017-12-12 ===
00:11:57 [e5b61ea041] *CURRENT* Adding spills before copy instructions
during calls (user: shruthi tags: trunk, shruthi).....

A few problems:
1) -n did not prevent it from running.
2) --user-override didn't - and didn't consume a parameter and didn't give
any warning! I'm guessing I should have used --user-override=shruthi but
nothing indicates that and I don't want to put more crap in my timeline.
3) Initially I thought my tag vs. checkin order was wrong (i.e. that the
documentation was wrong on that) and then it did something, but not the
right thing.
4) There is no mention of a "note" in the documentation. It does say
'?VALUE?' at the end of 'fs help tag' but no indication what it is... and
the word 'value' is used several times, but not referring to it.
5) I presume these are on the local fossil - can I *REMOVE* them (I tried
cancel, but that just adds another record to the timeline!) I haven't done
anything else since to that fossil.

This is fossil version 2.3 [f7914bfdfa] 2017-07-21 03:19:30 UTC

Thanks ../Dave
