I think by  definition it must be considered no  longer a fork, however,
it may be a leaf if it is the tip of that branch of the fork.

Perhaps there is some confusion in the use of open/close with respect to
a fork?  ``Close'' does have a  specific meaning in Fossil  and there is
certainly not an explicit ``close'' tag on the node that has been merged
from a fork. Only if someone were  to commit against this node, it would
begin a new fork.

But a fork  that ends in a  leaf that is ``closed'' is  not considered a
fork. And a fork that ends in being merged is also no longer a fork.
