then I would opt for `-n 0' to get the whole time line. but actually I
would prefer a `-u(nlimited)' or `-a(ll)' flag or similar. the usefullness of --reverse I'm not so sure about, at least I do not miss it right now...


-n 0 is already interpreted as some default, so that would break anyone
depending on the current semantics. -u is used for USER (maybe not in the
CLI version). i don't think -a is used, but i recently added that to the
'search' command, so there is a precedence for it.


`-n 1' and `-n 0' currently seem to do the same thing: showing the last checkin. this does not even seem consistent ( -n 0 probably right now should show nothing?) and the CLI does neither use -u nor -a as `timeline' options, so this should work, right?

another small observation: fossil help timeline contains the statement:

Options:
  -n|--limit N         Output the first N changes (default 20)

where the "first" probably should be a "last" or "most recent" I'd say.
