What you could do is script a checkout/commit series which incrementally checks out each version of your repo and commits it to a different repo with the --delta option (needed on the first checkin only) and override the timestamp... and user name... oh, that quickly devolves into a can of worms.

That will set the "manifest-seen" repo config var, which later tells fossil that it is allowed to generate deltas. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
