I agree with Matt.  I'm thinking you didn't really lose any work - the
"update" bug just took you off into nah-nah land, from which you could
easily recover using "fossil update trunk", "fossil undo", or "fossil
revert".  If you did lose uncommitted changes, that is indeed a problem that
needs to be worked on, but I don't see how that would be possible, even with
the bug you hit.  The "3-days" of work seems to be an exaggeration as well,
seeing as you checked into trunk just yesterday.  Please, Zed, tell us what
really happened.

And just to confirm, nobody is thinking that any checked-in change have
every been lost, right?
