title: Fossil add for external directory
body: <p>I have read some of the questions and answers here, but it none match my situation exactly.</p>
  
  <p>I want to keep all my fossil repos in a single place.</p>
  
  <p>so I have</p>
  
  <p>c:\Fossil_Repos\ with a repo for WebPages_Repo and another for Dev_repo etc etc etc</p>
  
  <p>I would like to keep my original web pages and development pages in separated directories that are oustide of the Fossil_Repos directory, here is my structure</p>
  
  <pre><code>c:\Fossile_Repos\
  c:\DevEnvironment\
  c:\WebPageDevelopment\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This structure seems not to be unreasonable.</p>
  
  <p>If from within my c:\Fossile_Repos\ I run the commands</p>
  
  <pre><code>fossil open Dev_Repo
  fossil add c:\DevEnvironment
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I see a listing of all the directories and files underneath c:\DevEnvironment, however I then go on to add</p>
  
  <pre><code>fossil commit -m "first deposit"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And get an error message on the first file saying the file doesn't exist. Note that the file path is correct (however it report the direcory as C:/DevEnvironment/firstFile.xml using the unix method of file separators)</p>
  
  <p>Anyone got any thoughts on if I can do this or not?</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
  
  <p>David</p>
