You seem to have some deep confusion about how Git works: `git clone` brings in the full repository history, then it just checks out a branch the HEAD ref in the remote repository points to, and that appears to you to be "the current set of files...".
In fossil, the equivalent to your `git clone` command would be fossil clone $URL repo.fossil mkdir repo; cd repo fossil open ..\repo.fossil _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
