Pull from canonical repository is working. Thanks.

It is possible to create new repository:
c:\soft\bin>fossil init test.fossil
project-id: 1077e040e493ef0a887a53c16df935bfe9fd8edb
server-id:  c01f4ddc57b5d22f0f7684e7f9382902433ea912
admin-user: user (initial password is "eb5efc")

Now, I can open it and check on its status
c:\soft\bin>fossil open test.fossil
c:\soft\bin>fossil status
repository:   c:/soft/bin/test.fossil
local-root:   c:/soft/bin/
server-code:  c01f4ddc57b5d22f0f7684e7f9382902433ea912

comment:      initial empty check-in (user: user)

If I try to add file with a name containing letters with diacritics "test_šťěk.txt" in my case
c:\soft\bin>dir test*.txt
03.05.2011  23:40                39 test_šťěk.txt
               1 souborů,             39 bajtů

It fails, because it try to open file under mungled name               
c:\soft\bin>fossil add .\test_šťěk.txt
c:\soft\bin\fossil.exe: cannot open c:/soft/bin/test_ÜŁýk.txt
