On SQLite and on Fossil I do this:
http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?a=release&t=trunk&n=1000
http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/timeline?a=release&t=trunk&n=1000
The above assumes (1) the previous release is labeled with a tag "release"
and (2) the branch of interest is trunk and (3) there have been fewer than
1000 check-ins on trunk since the previous release. Make adjustments as
necessary.
