Description & Comments:
i dont know if its a lack of documentation or if its just me, but i am confused about when to do a rebuild.

ok i know that if the table structure of fossil changes, i have to do a rebuild. but looking from the end-user perspective, i have no clue when an update changes the structure and when not.

i am still new to fossil, but as far as i know the user updates, try to executes a command and the command fails due to an old table structure and the user have to be so "clever" to rebuild before submitting a ticket...

what about saving inside the table structure the fossil version from the last rebuild and check for this version by every command. if i update now fossil, it recognizes that the structure is to old and gives a hint or just do a rebuild.
