[PATCH] Add test-chmtime: a utility to change mtime on files

From
EWEric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
Date
Feb 25, 2007, 00:59 UTC
Message-ID
<11723651923476-git-send-email-normalperson@yhbt.net>

This is intended to be a portable replacement for our usage of date(1), touch(1), and Perl one-liners in tests.

Usage: test-chtime (+|=|-)<seconds> <file_1> [<file_2>]"
  '+' increments the mtime on the file by <seconds>
  '-' decrements the mtime on the file by <seconds>
  '=' sets the mtime on the file to exactly <seconds>
