http://chiselapp.com/ comes closest in that it provides a web interface
for working on repositories as a whole.  It does not provide what you
ask, nor do I know of any other web platforms that do.

The trouble is that in order for a checkout user interface to be
meaningful, it needs to be bundled with tools to actually edit the
checkout files.  Otherwise there's little point.  From the perspective
of most programmers, web browsers can't compete with dedicated text
editors, so what you describe will likely not be successful in targeting
programmers.

One thing that could happen is for "fossil ui" itself to get more
checkout functionality, since it does indeed get used in combination
with checkout editing.  Since it's used in conjunction with the command
line, it does not make any effort to replace the command line.  But that
doesn't mean it can't be an alternative interface, just like how it
provides an alternative to diffing historical files from the command line.

Personally I'm not interested in "fossil ui" performing the checkout
manipulations you describe, but nevertheless I would like it to be a bit
more aware of checkouts, e.g. to diff the current checkout with its
baseline check-in or other versions, to show the list of changes, or to
show and manage stashes.
