Ok, so it's more complex because of the workflow issue of delayed/pseudo mirroring/replication between private and public repos? This cloning/replication is not done through git? Are you saying it's impossible for master.kernel.org's git to track the local time of each commit/merge/replication? Perhaps replication time is precisely what should/could be tracked (locally)? >From an integrity or at least gitweb.cgi's viewpoint it seems very important to me that commit order also be per repo consistent with time order. -Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
