Even better, Joe has already done that to trunk.

But why that commit [b6b50b12] is marked
as *FORK* in timeline.rss;
and as *BRANCH* in `fossil timeline`;
while here https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/b6b50b1244796110
looks like usual commit..

Oooh, that's weird. Narrowing to just checkins on trunk, we can see several more cases that have done the same thing. Someone more familiar with the RSS generator should take a look, it doesn't look right.

https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline.rss?y=ci&tag=trunk

At a quick glance at the current batch, it looks like it is calling any node a *FORK* if there is more than one descendent. But in all the cases covered right now, these are nodes that have branches and are not properly a *FORK* as we normally use the term in fossil. (And after quickly rereading https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/branching.wiki I think the documentation does agree with that statement.)

It would be better to label it as "Branch Point" or possibly just "Branch" for brevity in the RSS feed. Unless it really *is* a fork, of course.
