<h3>Things to note</h3>
- * Fossil cli commands do not use special delimeters, they use spaces.
- This is traditional with VCS/SCM. Some <i>options</i> to fossil commands
- <i>do</i> use special delimiters, particularly the '-' (hyphen, or dash)
- character. This is very similar to Tcl. Think of fossil as a shell you
- invoke and feed a command to, including any options, and it will make
- more sense.

+ * Any fossil command is acceptable once enough of it has been
entered to make the intent unambiguous. 'clo' is a proper prefix of
both the 'clone' and 'close' commands, for instance, but 'clon' is
- enough to make the intent—the 'clone' command—unambiguous.
-
- * A <u>version</u> in <b>fossil</b> is 40 character hexadecimal string.
- <b>fossil</b> will be able to figure out which version you want with any
- prefix of that string that is distinct from all others. <em>Commands
- which require a version are looking for that string, the unique prefix,
