Ok, thx. (A bit of background: these dirs here with encoded date in the dirname were mostly for sets-of-files sent out to others on this-and-that date, i.o.w. stuff that was created once, never changed (long) afterwards, and basically just sitting there on the disk/repo. 'fossil ls --age' makes a lot of sense there, i.e. gives me the creation-date, or at least date of last change before sending it off. For often-changing stuff, encoding date in a dirname would make little sense anyway.)
