I had a big problem going back in time to an older version of some code. In brief I had to go fossil ui, find the version I wanted, copy the code from the browser into my editor, save and commit because I could not get fossil revert to do what I wanted. I've replicated something approximating my actions here below with a dirt-simple test case (albeit a bit long). I've highlighted the interesting bits in bold.
