Is this really (still) the case? Subversion uses directories called .svn
for years now. And the GnuWin32 toolchain uses files like .lesshst as
well.

It is true that you cannot create files and directories that start or
end with a dot via the explorer, but it is possible via command line
and via API functions.

In fact, this fossil behaviour puzzles me a lot because I tend to share
working copies via network share and at some point I end up having
_FOSSIL_ and .fslckout which are not in sync. Perhaps having a
configuration option to set the checkout filename would please all?

Greetings,
Stefan
