Fossil does not stay running when you `fossil open`.

If I close and re-open fossil, it seems to me that it should do a diff and only query about overwrites on the files that have changed. As far as I can tell, diff is fairly fast, and why should I be asked about overwriting a file if the "overwrite" will be identical anyway? Then again, why query about overwriting *any* file? How often do you want to overwrite a file that you have modified? If that's really what you want, there are better ways to do it, right? I say don't even ask about overwriting. Just leave alone all the working files, and create a working copy of any files that don't have one already. That would allow you to open and close fossil without the confusion I experienced.
