As of the latest version of Fossil (checked into trunk moments ago) you can do this: fossil annotate $filename -r $oldversion -o trunk $filename is the name of the file and $oldversion is some version identifier (a label or a hash prefix) for a check-in that contains the line that you are wondering about. The "-o trunk" object is the new magic. The output shows first time each line of the file changes in the sequence of check-ins going from $oldversion to trunk. (You can, of course, substitute some other version identifier for "trunk", depending on your needs.) Note that the first change to the line in question might not be the specific change that deleted the line. Instead it might just be an edit of that line. You might need to iterate the find the deletion point, just as you would have to iterate to find the insertion point for a line using an ordinary annotation. The same feature is available for the /annotate webpage, except that you use the "origin=trunk" query parameter. You'll have to type in the URL manually, as there is currently no hyperlink that provides the "origin=" query parameter for you. Example: The line at https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/annotate?origin=trunk&filename=src/diff.c&checkin=d9ef474a1 is missing from trunk. To find out where it was deleted, use the following URL: https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/annotate?origin=trunk&filename=src/diff.c&checkin=d9ef474a1 -- D.
