    Is there a was to get a "ls -l" style list of the files in a

    but the listing of "ages" seems to be relative to the last commit time.


A related sidebar: fossil doesn't actually store the creation- or
modification times of files. The only timestamps it remembers are when
changes are made to the repository (a checkin, wiki/ticket edit, new tag
applied to a commit, etc.). When fossil tells you the age of a file,
it's really showing you the timestamp of the commit which most recently
modified that file.


I see. I was mistakenly under the impression that fossil would preserve the timestamps on a checkout so that 'make' would work correctly. I didn't think about the fact that one does not store the intermediate or targets of a build in the repository -- one builds from scratch and when a product is shelved for a while, one just does a final commit, closes the repository and deletes the checkout.

That clears things up. Thanks.
