I don't do that (I keep all my fossil repositories in ~/repos), so
haven't paid close attention to the issues. The big one seems to be
accidentally trying to add the repository to itself. The resulting
checkin never terminates. I also recall problems with Windows
(something else I don't use) where the solution was to move the
repository out of the work space.
Maybe the people who helped solve the problems can comment on this? Or
maybe my skimming of such problems has led me to a false conclusion.
