Is there a way to modify the date limit for topics?

[grothesque]

When tracking a new repository with Forge, there is the possibility to fetch only topics starting with a specific date. Is there a way to modify this date without removing and re-adding the repository? I was not able to find one.

No there is not.

Thanks for the quick clarification. The workaround is OK for me.

I think that eventually a solution would be nice to have (forge-pull could offer to change the date when run with a prefix argument or so), but I’m not opening an issue in order to not pollute the tracker.

The problem is that non-initial pulls work like this: 1. Determine the date for the most recently modified topic. 2. Ask the server go give us everything since that date. When limiting to topics after a certain date from the get go, we implement the initial pull as a "fake non-initial pull" by changing the first step to: "use arbitrary date picked by user".

Pushing the start date back complicates that considerably, in addition to a "since date" pull, we would additionally have to do an "in between two dates" pull, which would have to be implemented from scratch.
