Do you not care which specific commit on the specific day (or other time interval)? Is this a one time thing? A regular procedure for varying dates? Something else? About how long ago is the date in question? Pre-git? Post-git? Is the branch known? main? A quarterly? (Which quarterly?) If it is a one time thing and recent enough, looking at the commits reported for the month via, say, something like: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-ports-main/ or: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/dev-commits-ports-branches/ should allow finding a commit-hash-prefix for something from the date in question. After that: normal git procedures. But it is not clear if your context fits that. > But for the life of me, I can't > seem to cobble up an/the incantation. > > All the suggestions I've read indicate something to > the effect of > git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before=<previous-date>" freebsd/main` > which returns > Your branch is up to date with 'freebsd/main'. > > What must I do?
