Hi Stephan,

thanks for adressing the topic and for updating the documentation!

I have another small wish for improvement ;-)
(just cosmetics / text layout):

All other fossil commands on the page are liste this way:

----
Introduction to do something ... with these commands:

fossil info
fossil status
...

Explaining paragrah ...
----

Could you please do the same with "checkout" & "update", e.g.

----
To switch a checkout between different versions and branches, use these
commands:

fossil update
fossil checkout

Update honors the "autosync" option and does a "soft" switch, merging
any local changes into the target version, whereas checkout does not
sync and does a "hard" switch, potentially overwriting local changes
(after prompting).
----

Regards,
Michael
