I know this is a long-shot, but I thought I’d ask anyway. I’m currently trying to figure out how my tests broke, and because I am probably not as rigorous about setting version bounds on dependencies (lesson learned…), I thought it would be great to have a way to pick a date (say, the last date I know my tests passed on), and be able to pin the latest versions of all of my dependencies as of that date. I don’t suppose this is easily doable, somehow?

You can checkout the registry at a commit with your desired date.

Thanks for the suggestion. I started down this path before realizing it was more trouble than it was worth, although I think starting with the minimum environment needed to reproduce the bug would’ve gotten me further. I managed to find the bug, anyway 🙂 .
