You can't checkout a date, only a revision number. Which you can see by date in the log.

However, for this use, git bisect might be exactly what you want.

I need  to download a fresh HEAD using git, but I need to be able to specify the rev level or date (preferably). I am trying to solve a build issue that "goes away" on the second make which is why I need a fresh reload each time. A problem was introduced between and 9/26 and I am trying to narrow down the actual date/time it happened. I was not able to find out how to do this on the web. Thanks
