In John's case the relative path lies on the same disk and inside the working area and it would work fine on both Windows and Linux. This is also true in every one of the examples I gave. I think the simplest solution is that on "fossil open" the path used is stored in the _FOSSIL file. Document i

Essentially the request here is to support a relative path to the .fossil file in the _FOSSIL_ file. This would be very useful for me and as far as I can tell there is no good technical reason why it would not work just fine. John's desired work strategy can easily be supported with the relative p
