Yes, I overwrite the "fossil" file, I do not sync it. I somehow just thought that this could cause problems.
However, there are a few reasons, which made me try it this way: It is really circular to boot the computer, connect it to the network, start the fossil server just for doing a sync (Then turning it of again...). The next thing is, I maintain more than 5 projects with fossil now. There are two ways to sync them. The first one is to write a script which holds a list of available fossils and syncs all of them, or you type the sync command 5 times (and then you forgot one). With my approach, I was able to put all fossils into a dir and ftpget them, but that did not solve my network boot up problem. So I tried it with a thumb drive and exchanged the fossil files between the two computers with it. I think I use your method now. Is it also possible to sync between two local fossil databases, without a network connection? I also noticed that fossil generates a unique project-id and a unique server-id for each newly generated fossil file. It would be great have a command which regenerates this ids. So one could simply copy a original fossil and regenerate it's ids, initial username and generate a new random password. Additionally, this command should have a option to set all the ids and passwords entries to empty values. This newly prepared fossil is then saved as a copy. Fossil then generates ids and sets random passwords on the next time the prepared fossil is opened. This is usefull for people who want to upload the fossil file itselve, to a public webspace for example.
