It seems <code>--date-override</code> doesn't work correctly with <code>fossil new</code>, which is required for importing files from other repositories:
 
<pre>
$ fossil new test.fsl -A test --date-override "2010-01-01 UTC" 
project-id: 05468b497577aa00211a76732a997723fb5a8acf
server-id: 23567149953dd056df1d40062d214826895c9dae 
admin-user: test (initial password is "5a4f69") 

$ fossil timeline -R test.fsl 
</pre> 
→ The timelime shows no entries!

If I create a new repository without date override and then try to override date to a past value, fossil complains about time skew and doesn't accept commit!
