I've just investigate a little bit. On web ui, parameter work as
expected for the "n" parameter and show number of checkins.
e.g.:
http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?n=5
Will show 5 last checkins.
But for the same repository (my clone), using command line I get only 3
checkins:
============================================================================
$ fossil timeline -n 5

============================================================================
Looking at the code, the timeline_cmd() seems to search for "n" last
checkins but call at the end: print_timeline() which take the "n" as
second argument. The problem is that the second argument of print_timeline() is
used to limit the number of line, not number of checkins.
