I just had to share this blog post, which I found last night:

    http://blog.endpoint.com/2014/05/git-checkout-at-specific-date.html

Yes, the Git alternative to “fossil up 2016-08-01” is

    $ git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before=2016-08-01 master`

…and it takes a long blog post to explain why.

Oh, and it takes much longer, because as I understand it, Git must traverse the 
entire checkin history to find out which checkin “2016-08-01” refers to.

<shakes head in disbelief>
