I'd also love a function like that. Me too, I have large binary files which get obsolete after some time. They make the fossil rep very big and awkward to handle.

I use it everyday. Thank you for developing and supporting fossil. I have a small problem and i wonder if it can be easily solved. (Perhaps with some clever usage of branch and tags etc.) My question is: Is it possible to selectively shun all binary files that exceed a certain age? Here "selectively" means files that are stored under a given directory or are tagged in some way. I use fossil to host some latex documents and it is very practical for me to store in the fossil repository the generated pdf documents together with the latex sources. However, as the time passes, these old versions lose interest and they make the fossil repository uselessly large. I suppose that a similar problem can arise in other cases. E.g. when you want to distribute through fossil an up to date compiled version of your software.
