Last time I tried using <base> it did not work out very well. Do you have some idea what is browser support for this tag like? Especially restricted and terminal-based browsers might be interesting. More importantly, you might not know what the base is if you are behind CGI. And the base might become invalid when you save the generated HTML. The most reliable thing would be to automagically generate enough ../ so the link points to the root of the repo, and the fossil service knows what URL it was called by so it can generate those ../ just fine. Anything else is asking for trouble imho. This was my major grief with fossil web as well so I gave up on using it since cross-linking between wiki and source becomes pretty much impossible.
