Research direction
Start by tracing the existing single-file restore command and how it resolves a revision number, then check the Dropbox API support described by the repository. Done should mean restoring a directory recursively, including nested contents, to a specified date and time rather than requiring only a revision number.

Description
This is more a feature request than an issue. I noticed that the tool supports one file restore at a time. And it requires you to provide the revision number, not the date and time. I guess this has limited usage or usefulness. It would be easier for me to restore one file from DropBox.com web interface.
However, what I believe is more useful is to make the tool able to restore the entire folder and its contents or even sub-contents (recursively) to a given date/time. This functionality will be handy and more useful as it is not available in the web interface (DropBox.com).
