Thinking a bit further about this: intuitively one might expect to be
able to reboot using a local file system which is completely full, and
use du and ls to find big files and rm to delete them, without the need
to allocate new blocks. Something in the way fossil works, makes this
impossible at present. I wonder how much work it would be to investigate
and fix?
