I have a fossil repository where I keep my vim settings in different
branches. Here is an example output of branch listing:

$ fossil branch
* trunk
  vim-7.3.000-i486-1-custom
  vim-7.3.000-i486-1-default
  vim-7.3.154-x86_64-1-custom-big

Now, to checkout the last branch in this list, I have to copy paste the
whole name with the mouse and do:

$ fossil co vim-7.3.154-x86_64-1-custom-big

I'd be very happy if I could just type:

$ fossil co vim-7.3.154

I'd be even happier if I could just type:

$ fossil co 154

but I understand that technically this would be harder, since 154 can be a
part of an SHA1 checksum (maybe it could be escaped somehow to let fossil
know this is a substring of a tag?)

Is this just a missing feature or an intentional design choice?
