Hi David, I would find why it is growing and ignore them for the future.
By design, Fossil keeps everything forever, though there is a method to "shun" artifacts but still takes some effort to get a reduction of the fossil database: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/shunning.wiki I have never tried this on a local repo (like AstLinux has), and if you play with this be sure to use a copy. Personally I would find the culprit why the Fossil DB was growing so much and leave it at that.
