 I think you have to commit the file deletion before doing the add.

Thanks. That did the trick.
Not ideal, though, because the history of the original file isn't associated 
with the files in the new folder.

May be you could have rename the file first and commit. Then create the
folder and move the file in it.. So in that case, you would keep the
history of the file.

e.g.:
-
fossil mv origfile origfile.copy
fossil commit 

...

mkdir origfile
fossil mv origfile.copy origfile/new_origfile_name
mv origfile.copy origfile/new_origfile_name

...  (add you other files)

fossil commit
...

Sorry, forget this. I remember now that fossil mv will not make the
history of the old filename follow the new filename. So my more
complicated way would give the same result as the way Ron Wilson describe.

Note: This history is still on the repository, but not just under the new
filename..
