Actually,  it does.  Did  you try  to run  ``fossil  ci'' after  running
``fossil merge --force'' to actually commit your changes?

There  will be  no files  changed  as part  of  the merge,  but it  will
certainly merge the two leaves and it should show up in your timeline.

That's a good  question. That particular leaf will no  longer show up in
the  open leaves  report.  It will  not be  possible  to commit  changes
against the  closed leaf (without  a bit of  extra work). Not  sure what
else might be implied here.

It would certainly cease to be listed as a fork.
