If you’re having to reapply the change on every Fossil update, you’re probably making the change to the wrong place in the code: you’re changing a generated file rather than a proper source file.

Saying “fossil up” or “fossil up release” should merge your local edits into the new release automatically unless upstream changes something nearby or on those same lines.

I don’t say this expecting that these problems will remain unfixed upstream, just as general forward-looking advice.  Fossil can be a useful aide in carrying local changes from one release to the next.

There are more advanced methods beyond that, such as private branches and autosync=0, but at that point we should take it up on the Fossil forum.
