`FOSSIL:' or even `FOS:' as the unique identifier (which mostly is what
somebody else already proposed). I'd say that will work better than `#'

Historical note (i don't think you've been on the list long enough to
have
seen this): here's the summary from some code comments in fossil:
/*
** Locate the root directory of the local repository tree. The root
** directory is found by searching for a file named "_FOSSIL_" or
".fslckout"
** that contains a valid repository database.
**
** For legacy, also look for ".fos". The use of ".fos" is deprecated
** since "fos" has negative connotations in Hungarian, we are told.
...
A user made us aware at some point that fos is an ugly/inappropriate word
in his language (i concur with the code comment that it was Hungarian).
well, there are _towns_ having offending names
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria :-)
so I presume the hungarian users will probably don't take real offense but
anyway "FOSSIL:" would be fine to.
