Re: New hammer utility feature in HEAD: 'hammer cleanup'

:Would it be a valid assumption that leaf nodes with higher
:transaction ids have higher (later) timestamps?
:In that case one could perhaps do a binary search to find a
:transaction id close to a given timestamp.

    Generally speaking, yes.  The transaction ids are monotonically
    increasing.  The timestamps should theoretically be as well but
    since they reflect the system's notion of real time they can move
    about if the system's time gets off and is then corrected.
