I hope I haven't just missed this in the documentation, but I can't find how to check out a complete set of code according to a global revision number (like subversion) or to a timestamp (like CVS).

I would sincerely appreciate such a feature being added, if it is lacking, since unfortunately the Sqlite project has migrated away from CVS into Fossil.

Check-out complete code by the hexadecimal (SHA1-hash prefix) version
number as follows:

   wget http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/zip/FILENAME.zip?uuid=VERSION

Change FILENAME and VERSION in the above as appropriate for what you want
to do.

There is no way to get a ZIP Archive based on just the date.  (That is
problematic because there could be multiple branches and forks going all
at once.)  But you can get a timeline of check-ins that occur around a
certain date by pointing your web-browser at a URL like the following:

    [http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?c=2009-08-01]

Adjust the date at the end of the URL as appropriate, of course.

I think ability to specify a combination of date/time and branch name (default to trunk) in fossil open and fossil update command would be helpful.

I understand that other clones may have different data but given a local version of repository, this option will be helpful to go back and forth in time.

Please consider this request.
