"Override project code" option does not have any effect while creating new fossil repo at chiselapp.com. It should supposed to set project ID/code specified by user in "Override project code" option, but different project ID is assigned to newly created repo at chiselapp.com.

Existing local repo cannot be pushed into remote repo at chiselapp.com because of different project ID. Login failure error occures.

Work around method

here is workaround method for one who interested to upload existing repo to chiselapp.com till this issue resolves.

• clone remote repo from chiselapp.com
  fossil clone https://chiselapp.com/user/xxx/repository/myrepo myrepo.fossil
• get project ID of remote repo
  fossil info -R myrepo.fossil
• modify existing local repo project ID to match remote repo ID

  fossil sql -R <local-repo>
  UPDATE config SET value='<project-code-from-remote-repo>' where name='project-code';
  .exit
