 I'm wondering about it, because I am planning to have a test, installing a
 Fossil repository on one of my web-site, for some reference implementations
 in some misc areas. As this will potentially be seen by some people (I
 don't know yet, may be people won't enjoy it too), I would like the views
 to be as meaningful to humans and human readable as possible; and for that
 purpose, I would like to get ride of SHA-1 prefix tags, at least in web
 UI views.


The short answer is no, there's not a way to do it. The longer-term
answer is that being able to customize the text in the timeline (==provide
your own) is a feature being developed for libfossil. The groundwork for
that feature was added earlier today (coincidentally), but it's still a
long, long way from where you'll be able to use it on your own sites.

FWIW, nobody really likes hashes as version numbers, but they're the most
viable numbering mechanism anyone has yet found for DVCS systems.

 Hi people,

 Just discovered Fossil two days ago, and I like the concept, especially
 it's simplicity (even if I believe this could be made even a bit clearer)
 and it's low weight.

 I was wondered if there is a known way to display (and optionally use in
 fossil command lines), a date-time (something like ISO 8601 format) instead
 of SHA-1 prefix in all the time line views within the fossil web UI. That's
 just that date-time is more human readable, makes more sense to human, and
 I'm favouring ISO 8601 date-time as versions identification for my tiny
 stuffs, as I don't enjoy version numbers neither (cheese).


You can use timestamps with the CLI (check
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/checkin_names.wiki).

The timestamp of the commit +1s should work for identifying that commit
instead of the UUID.
