    Hi,
    I am using fossil just a couple of days, and it is wanderful - I find it very practical and it meets all my needs. Sorry for bloating the ticket with a praise, but I'd like to give some positive feedback... :-)
    
    Here is my problem:
    - I've created a repository in linux. Commited several times, closed, reopen, everything works. The repository (called unilang) contains a single directory "unilang" with several files.
    - I've copied the repository to windows and tried fossil open - it failed:
    
    C:\Users\Orest\Documents\rep>fossil open unilang
    
    ADD unilang/calc.g
    
    (null): unable to create directory C:/Users/Orest/Documents/rep/unilang
    
    The path in the error message contains slashes (as in linux), while a valid windows path contains backslashes - could that be related ?
    
    - I still could open the repository in window using "fossil ui unilang" without problems. So I 've extracted a zip file, unzipped and created a new repository with the same file structure in windows. That works - I can open it in windows on another place witout problems. And - it as well works in linux - fossil open can creates all the files in linux from a repository created in windows. So what does not work is creating in linux, opening in windows...
    
    Best Regards,
    Orest
