i sometimes want to find out how old a given 3rd-party repo is, and paging through the timeline is a tedious way to do it. It can be done more quickly by drilling down through the /reports (by year, selecting the first year, then the first week-of-year). What i didn't know, until today, is that it's possible to use fossil's "rid:#" artifact ID alias with the /info page, e.g.:
https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/rid:1 RID #1 is always the first artifact ever stored in the fossil db, which is (historically, at least) the empty initial checkin. i'm not sure that that always applies after a rebuild/reconstruct, but it works on all the repos i've tried so far. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ "Freedom is sloppy.
