I just tried Fuel and it looks like it could be very useful. The first
problem I ran into is that I can't seem to open up an already opened repo
via samba. Does Fuel recognize the _FOSSIL_ file? I don't think it is
related to samba.

I was able to open a repo where the .fossil file was in the top directory.
I think two ways of opening are needed:

1. Open an already 'opened' area, Fuel should be able to find the .fossil
file by inspecting the _FOSSIL_ file. The .fossil file may be outside the
opened repo area.

2. Open a .fossil file and create an open area but give the user an
opportunity to browse to and or create the area to be used.

Also, you may be amused to know that I went to check my laptop power cable
and spent a few seconds trying to figure out a) why I wasn't plugged in and
b) what had changed on my system to give me the new battery icon until I
moused over the icon and realized it was Fuel. I guess I'd prefer something
other than a battery as the default icon. How about a fuel canister with a
fossil, you know "fossil fuel", was that your original intent with the name?
