A couple more points:

1. You can see how this could be easily automated.  A short bit of shell 
scripting could do most of what I outlined.  I haven’t bothered here because I 
don’t think it would pay off in my case, but you might have a better reason for 
automating it there.

2. You can adopt this scheme retroactively:

a. Use your current method of finding the checkin ID of a past version.  Maybe 
you’ve been recording checkin IDs in a file (“1.2.3: [c245067884b54d15]”) or 
maybe you’ve just been spelunking the timeline.

b. Tag old releases:

    $ fossil tag add v1.2.3 c245067884b54d15

If your current method for storing version-to-checkin-id mappings is parseable, 
as in the above example, you could again fix all of this up with a small bit of 
shell scripting.
