Hello,
Perhaps having fossil manage files outside its own root is not
practical to implement/want, I don't know.
And can be very confusing and dangerous.
I suppose, in that case instead of this reaction:
if I change the name of the directory, I don't get error, but the name
of file is transformed:
/test1# fossil add ../opt1/one.txt
ADDED ne.txt
there should be a nice message informing the user about the fact that
adding a file from a upper directory is a bad idea.
i think, it would be right to register current behaviour as a bug.

Hello,
Perhaps the error is a bit misleading... Should it be possible to add
files that are above the root of the open fossil repository?
This would be a nice feature to have. I want to use fossil to manage changes
on linux based VPN Routers. Some of my config files live in /etc , some in
/opt/scripts. It would be nice to be possible to run fossil from something
like /opt/archive. Currently, for my purposes, I can only run it from (/)
root directory which is not so flexible.

And can be very confusing and dangerous. Imagine working from
/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/checkoutdir and adding file ../../../../../file.txt.
Later, one open a checkout in /a/b. Where file.txt will go ?
Or the file could also goes inside another checkout, a clean in this
other checkout could delete latest change.

Actually, latest version of trunk work for a checkout on '/', which was
not the case before. It is less flexible for you to work on '/' but
could be use. In my case I don't do that on my workstation but on some
headless BSD server where I want to track changes on system
configuration files.
