In packaging 2.20 for Debian, the tooling noticed some possible spelling errors. $ lintian --tag-display-limit 0 ../fossil_2.20-1_amd64.deb W: fossil: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary childs children [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary descritption description [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary enbaled enabled [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary explaination explanation [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary extention extension [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary intialization initialization [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary ment meant [usr/bin/fossil] I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary splitted split [usr/bin/fossil] P: fossil: spelling-error-in-copyright "GNU Public License" "GNU General Public License"

The entry:
I: fossil: spelling-error-in-binary ment meant [usr/bin/fossil]
Apparently comes from this line of code:
}else if( nBuf>4 && 0==memcmp("ment", &aBuf[nBuf-4], 4) ){ ^^^^--- problem here
In other words, that warning is not easily fixable. All of the other harmless warnings have now been addressed. The changes will be in the next release.

Yeah, that tool is indeed prone to false positives. There's per-package list of false hits to silence them, so I'll add that particular warning.
