What you're after goes against the intended use.

What you should do is something like "bk clone -lr<rev> tree
tree-<rev>".

The BitKeeper guarantee is that any changeset is exactly reproducible. 
Simply extracting all the files as of a particular date is not the same
thing (because a changeset may encapsulate change that has occured over
an arbitrary time period).
