There is also an undocumented '-V' flag to 'fsys name open' which
someone has added in an attempt to do an open without making a connection
to a venti server. However, a quick look at the code leads me to believe
that it doesn't quite do the trick and may cause null references if used
in conjunction with some other console commands. But I could be wrong.

This shows the rather fragmented development history of fossil and it's
fair to say that a lot of the fossil internals and the venti library code
it uses are not loved very much.
