OK C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikací\_fossil Wrong C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikac\_fossil drh added on 2009-08-15 21:41:16: Check-in 00ac7945a9ead seems a more likely cause than check-in 6b0196aeb874f, in which case check-in a25092b14ca should fix the problem. Please try a25092b14ca and mark this ticket as "fixed" if it works. Thanks. anonymous claiming to be PF added on 2009-08-15 22:36:42: Check in a25092b14ca helped and new repos are created OK. Thanks for your fix.
