You could put in an enhancement request.

What you want to do, import in to a repository with only the initial, empty
commit, seems reasonable.

 If the only possible way to start a new repository on the server is
"fossil new repoName.fossil", then a possible work around would be to do a
"normal" import to Fossil, then create a "marks" file (see "fossil help
export") with the RID of the initial, empty commit, then use the
"--import-marks" option to the "fossil export" command to (hopefully)
create something usable with "fossil import --incremental".

Not sure when I will be able to experiemnt with this more.
