Is there a  command line option that will find  this artifact? I thought
perhaps the root:trunk symbolic name would  find it, but I was wrong. It
finds c06edd231fc15d145a1c96c39b8fecdb79b33523 which is apparently where
the current trunk began from a branch.

Of course  the following  works, but I  have to guess  at the  number of
artifacts:

fossil timeline -n 100000 | tail

actually, you don't need to guess any more since `n 0' now yields so whole timeline. so

fossil timeline -n 0 |tail -2 | awk -F[][] 'NR == 1 {print $2}'

should yield the SHA1 hash of initial checkin (for recent versions of `fossil' emitting the trailing `+++ end of timeline (10587) +++' message).

but I just think (repeat it until it sticks ;-): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthago_delenda_est) this is another instance where fossil would profit from supporting incremental revision numbers in the respective local repo so that one could just update to revision no. 0.
