fossil has a dirty trick.  its called DMTMP.  this is for files
that aren't supposed to go to venti.

; g DMTMP /sys/include/libc.h
/sys/include/libc.h:560: #define DMTMP		0x04000000	/* mode bit for non-backed-up files */

now, taking a look at replica with the magic T flag,

; ls -lTd replica
t d-rwxrwxr-x M 161 glenda sys 0 Nov 23 23:20 replica

ken's fs does not support this trick.
