The "timeline" command:
Usage: fossil timeline ?WHEN? ?CHECKIN|DATETIME? ?OPTIONS?
Print a summary of activity going backwards in date and time specified or from the current date and time if no arguments are given. The WHEN argument can be any unique abbreviation of one of these keywords:
before after descendants | children ancestors | parents
The CHECKIN can be any unique prefix of 4 characters or more. You can also say "current" for the current version.
DATETIME may be "now" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS". If in year-month-day form, it may be truncated, the "T" may be replaced by a space, and it may also name a timezone offset from UTC as "-HH:MM" (westward) or "+HH:MM" (eastward). Either no timezone suffix or "Z" means UTC.
