There have been many messages thrown around recently about the `fossil rm` command (see the archives), but I would say the correctness of the documentation depends on your definition of "repository." I think the author wrote using the definition of repository where it does not encompass the working set of files on disk (the checked out versions), but only those things stored within the actual fossil file where all artifacts are stored. Looked at from that perspective, the documentation is correct, although it could be more clear to those who come to the software without that perspective. Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
