Hi, commit & branch command accept --date-override command switch.
Example: (f is alias of fossil. hashes like e384bf5187 can be found in the timeline page) # create branch based on the commit just a bit earlier than your backup files f branch new add-old e384bf5187 --date-override "2014-02-01 20:10:25" # checkout the generated branch f co eb38e8d80a # you can overwrite files by unzipped backup here and commit f commit -m "added old version" --date-override "2014-02-01 20:10:30" # close branch f tag add --raw closed add-old # checkout the latest commit f co bad688808d # now you can continue from latest version. Does this satisfy your need? regards, Aki #sorry if this message is duplicated. I sent a message with attached image 1 hour ago, but that is mysteriously not listed in http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/, so I'm re-sending without attachment.
