They are not random files in the filesystem, they are in the checkout
tree, where most people would be working on their project.

By looking at doc/ckout ! That's what it is for. Wanting to distinguish
between things you have done an "add" for and things you haven't is
pointless. The repository doesn't know about them anyway.

My normal approach is to develop away in the work area without telling
fossil anything at all, until it is time to check in, then I do a fossil
changes and a fossil extra to see what I have actually changed, and decide
whether I might need a partial commit. Then I can do any necessary adds,
renames etc. followed by a re-check and then the commit. And I can look at
doc/ckout whenever I want, and again as part of the checking process.

Well, I just don't understand what you are on about, there is only one
level of WIP, and I can see no reason for another. There is no point in
"what will be committed", since the repository doesn't know, you might
change your mind, and you might be going to do a partial commit.

Eric
