Try this:
fossil rm `fossil ls`
Removing all the files from a repository seems to me to be a obscure corner
case (in 35 years of programming, it is not something that I've ever wanted
to do before - why not just start a new project?) So it seems to me that
leveraging the unix shell to get the job done, as shown above is not an
especially onerous task. Adding support for wildcards on "fossil rm" is not
a priority.
