1. Change comment to "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. <hr><i>drh added on 2009-09-16 14:42:26:</i><br> 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. <hr><i>altufaltu added on 2009-09-16 17:05:00:</i><br> 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. - Altu"
