question: should there not be a help page for fossil itself, maybe
(`fossil help fossil') which explains this sort of things?


Is this perhaps what you're looking for:

[stephan@host:~]$ f help help
Usage: f help COMMAND
   or: f COMMAND -help

Display information on how to use COMMAND.  To display a list of
available commands one of:

   f help              Show common commands
   f help --a|-all     Show both common and auxiliary commands
   f help --t|-test    Show test commands only
   f help --x|-aux     Show auxiliary commands only
   f help --w|-www     Show list of WWW pages


?

no: `fossil --user joedoe ci' has the form

fossil fossil_option COMMAND COMMAND_option

so the possibility of having a option for fossil itself is not explained in the help. or what am I missing? what I mean is, in my understanding the terminology is COMMAND is one of the keywords (without leading dashes) displayed by `fossil help -a' while `--user' is not a COMMAND but rather an option (but not of one of the COMMANDS but of `fossil' itself.
