the way I test it on win XP is that I run the above script (from del .\_fossil_ line till fossil ui line) in one go.<br>
At that moment I get fossil web interface, where I see freshly created repo.<br>
If I go there to the timeline menu, I see there one enty title "1 most recent events". If I check submenu "Checkins only" <br>
I still see there only 1 item, title now "1 most recent checkins".<br>
It says "Leaf" and text of my commit comment, as you czn check i above script.<br>
Now if I click link on that link, I see page titled "Baseline ...."<br>
There I have (besides other) "Commands:" line with   	 "diff  |  ZIP archive  | manifest  | edit" options/ links.<br>
If I use dill, I see "diffed" content of file (because I start afresh, it is just content of file with diff marks). In my case:<br>
@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@<br>
-<br>
+345678<br>

If I click ZIP link, I get Zipped archive of repository<br>
Now If I go to "Files" top menu, I get page titled "File List" with heading "Files in the top-level directory"<br>
and there I my commited dirctory (If I switch the codepage of browser to Central European Windows-1250, I see the directory name<br>
correctly). If I click on it, .... Now I noticed something I did not notice before.<br>

If I keep default character encoding on browser page (Western ISO 8859-1) and click on directory link, I get page stating:<br>
"Files in directory testSA!A!A!SRA&#184;A&#184;A&#184;R Y&#253;&#253;&#253;Y" and showing no file there.<br>
If I change character encoding on browser page to Central European Windows-1250 (on Files in the top-level directory page)<br>
and click on correcly named directory, I get page with heading "Files in directory testS&#353;&#353;&#353;SRoooR Y&#253;&#253;&#253;Y" and I see there<br>
link to my file (of course with name in western encoding " 1roooo R .test" and I can click on it to see its content)<br>

So it seems to me, based on encoding of generated page, sometimes fossil can fail to show true content of directory.<br>
