I know that there's a --keep option. But is there a setting which would force a fossil to always ask when overwriting my files? (I have a fossil repository on a flash drive, a drive letter is different on different machines so I need to close a repository on my machine before using it on other machine).

Fossil does not ask about modified files when opening repo
