A helpful hint (which applies to more than just the "zip" command):

In most places where a "version" or "check-in" name is request, you  
can substitute a branch name or a tag and it will use the most recent  
check-in on that branch or the most recent check-in with the given  
tag.  So for example, we tag certain check-ins in Fossil with  
"release" to indicate that they are check-ins that are officially  
released.  To generate a ZIP archive of the most recent release:

      fossil zip release output.zip

If you have a separate branch named "experimental", you can get the  
most recent check-in of that branch using:

     fossil zip experimental output.zip

You can also substitute an ISO8601 date and time to get the most  
recent check-in prior to the specified date:

     fossil zip "2009-11-05 18:00:00" output.zip

If you want the most recent version of a branch prior to a date, put  
the branch name first followed by the date, and separated by a colon:

     fossil zip "experimental:2009-11-05 18:00:00" output.zip

All of these forms apply to most commands.  For example:

     fossil update "experimental:2009-11-05 18:00:00"
     fossil merge trunk
     fossil open repo.fossil in-test

All of the above forms also apply to URLs.  So, for example, to see  
what the Fossil website looked like on trunk branch on July 4, 2009:

     http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk:2009-07-04/www/ 
index.wiki

Or to get the details of the check-in that is the latest release:

     http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/release

And so forth....   Yes, you're right:  I need to document this  
someplace....
