ah… I dont’ think I had any checkouts happening at that point…well maybe I have forgotten what a checkout is. I haven't used fossil in about a year. Sounds like “pull” is what I needed to do…which update accomplished for me anyway I guess, but I need to go re-read about the checkin/checkout paradigm to make sure in the future I’m not messing anything up if I use update.
