What if you treated all dates as "+" and used the [start,end)  
convention?  Dates before the archive started would round up to revno  
1, and dates past the end (tomorrow, for example) could be rounded to  
branch.get_revno() + 1.

Example:

revno   date
- -----   ----
167     2005-09-12 22:18
168     2005-09-13 01:14
169     2005-09-13 01:40
170     2005-09-14 15:05

date:2005-09-13..date:2005-09-14
     => [168..170)  because +2005-09-13 = 168 and +2005-09-14 = 170
     => 168 thru 169
