There isn't one - or at least not a simple one. I always configure using
the web interface: just run "fossil ui test.fossil" and manually configure
it that way.
If you definitely, positively must do your configuration from the command
line, it can be done using raw SQL. Probably just a single INSERT
statement. But I'd have to go look up exactly what that INSERT statement
would be. May I suggest: Configure a dummy repository using "fossil ui"
and then look in the CONFIG table of the repository database to see where
the project name got inserted. It should be obvious from there what you
need to do to insert that name yourself.
