Re: [9fans] duplicate uid in fossil

[jmk@plan9.bell-labs.com]

If you can recompile fossil somewhere, then just take that assert out.
The code for reading the users file strips out duplicates so only the first
instance will be used. Once the system is up you will have to write the
file back out with 'users -w' to permanently remove the duplicate. The
decision to automatically read the users file on opening main was arguably
wrong.

However, you are not supposed to be able to create duplicate entries
if you use the console commands - how did you do it?
