I am using 'fossil patch push ...' to synchronize checkouts between two systems. I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't update all the changed files. So I have gotten in the habit of running it multiple times to assure my stuff gets sent over. This time I ran it three times in succession and got 3 different results.

This is fossil version 2.27 [bb3fbffefa] 2025-05-09 06:15:00 UTC

Here is the 'fossil changes' result:

dougf@Lenovo:~/.../trunk/advanced$ fossil changes

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
