And now I'm finally realizing the extension of what you implied: I was assuming I would need to issue a "fossil sync" to synchronize my working directory with the repository database (similar to mercurial or darcs). But it now occurs to me that all of my commits have already done that and sync is trying to synchronize my *repository* file against a remote repository... which is not necessary for my present activities. And the "database is locked" is most likely occurring because I'm trying to sync the repository against itself.
So it's really a case of the wrong mental model of what fossil does. I should be better now! :-) Thanks! -KQ On Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:49:03 -0700, Kevin Quick <qu...@sparq.org> wrote: > Lluis, > > Ahh, I didn't know that about _FOSSIL_...
