there are changes for -W in several fossil files, including 9srv.c,
and pull probably didn't update that one.  less clear is why
the updated binary didn't work, unless that too isn't up to date.
you could cmp yours against sources.

replica checks the mtime and length to decide that a file
has changed, so if it couldn't set mtime correctly in a previous run,
things might well go wrong in a subsequent one.

by coincidence, for something i am doing,
i was going to change replica/applylog to
allow an optional extra field containing a hash of a file,
to allow more accurate detection of changes.
i was also trying to decide whether the database
was really needed.
