Yes, to free space in fossil you need to do an archival snapshot (or
to dismiss ephemeral ones). But no, you don't have to remove the file
from the active filesystem. [1]
Even the active filesystem is stored in venti (after snap -a), not
only the archive/ tree.
And of course, you can use the files in the active/ tree, you
don't have to access them via the the archive/ tree (/n/dump).
[1] BTW I realised that the removal of files from fossil does not free
blocks immediately (as shown by df). However, they are freed after
rebooting.
