Description & Comments:
dgp Sometimes I mistype a tag name durin `fossil open`: dgp fossil open /path/to/tcl.fr core-8-5-brunch dgp It fails, gives me a good message. dgp So I try again, taking care to type it right, and it fails because I can't `fossil open` into a directory where there's already been a `fossil open` -- even though it failed. dgp My simple minded fix would be to delete the _FOSSIL_ file when a `fossil open` fails, but dunno what implications that has.

Deleting _FOSSIL_ is similar to what "fossil close" does, so in your case it should not have any harmful effects whatsoever.
