As indicated in my statements below your insert, I have tried
using the raw SQL approach. The insert statement shown there
was derived from looking at the config table of a dummy
repository.
The motivation for using command line entries is that I'm doing
it for 25 repositories at the moment and anticipating that
number increasing to about 100. Each repository has a similar
name (e.g. F-100, F-110, F-120, ...) and a similar set of users.
The server directory with these repositories is a library for
use by non-programmers in the creation and archiving of text
and word processing documents on a project basis. Each repository
is a separate project.
So I created a C program to read from another sqlite database
and generate the fossil commands. By updating the control
database contents, I can continue the semi-automated creation
with less risk of missing some configuration step on one of
many repositories.
