Ok, I was wondering about that. In your example above the internally unnecessary timestamp will be from Linus' private repo, not master.kernel.org's? Even now knowing replication = merge/push/pull I still think it worthwile for local commit time to be effiently tracked locally and/or if already available in the local ref-log used by things like gitweb.cgi if feasible but I might be the only one that cares this much about time. Gitweb.cgi currently relies at least display/visually on those internally unnecessary and potentially misleading timestamps... -Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
