While the change is  not yet in an official release  (it's now merged to
trunk, but  definitely in ``testing''  mode), would you mind  trying the
latest to see how it works in your environment:

Perhaps because we  have not experienced the large number  of forks that
you are  encountering. The last  time I checked,  there were not  yet 80
forks in Fossil  in it's entire not  yet 8 years of  existence. Not very
many to be sure. How many do you have in 1 day? 1 week? 1 month?

Perhaps because the  person who committed the fork was  not aware of it,
nor was anyone else? If someone had  been alerted to the presence of the
fork, would it have  been dealt with when it happened?

Thanks,

Andy
