Greg,
"{2007-01-02}" is inherently a set, with zero or more members. It can never
deterministically resolve to a single revision number in the case that there
is more than one transaction commit during a 24 hour period beginning at
midnight unless you arbitrarily pick "first commit that day" or "last commit
that day".
best,
Paul

You've departed from our API and command-line interface specifications
with that meaning. Revision specs must resolve into a single revision
number.
