There are currently 3 ways to create a repository with initial checkin:
1) fossil new foo.fossil --date-override now
2) fossil new foo.fossil
3) fossil new foo.fossil --empty
fossil commit -m "my initial commit"
The latter has the advantage that any comment can be specified,
and doing "fossil add" beforehand allows the first commit to be non-empty.

You are absolutely right! Thank you for fixing this! This commit was
an ill-thought to fix the checksum mismatch, but the real fix
for the problem was done later:
[http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/f7d9413ccf]
Did a little testing, and everything appears to work fine now.

I would also prefer --empty being the default in "fossil new": Whether
there is an initial empty commit or not, all operations should function
the same after all. It would mean that there only two ways left
to create a repository with an initial empty commit, in stead of
currently 3..... It is unfortunate that some corner-cases were
discovered violating that, but that's life. I understand the frustration
that a new feature unveils longstanding 'bugs' (which were impossible
to trigger before, so whether they are bugs can be disputed).

Seconded. And thanks very much to Stefan for taking this
while I had a long free weekend.
I hope many people will test "fossil new --empty" whenever they
create a new repository.
