My original git repository shows of course a different date: warning: Log for '' only goes back to Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:36:26 +0200. fatal: bad object @{2007-05-01} Also, "git log @{2007-05-01}" | cat gives me this error message, "git checkout @{2007-05-01}" gives error: pathspec '@{2007-05-01}' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? which is completely misleading. Sorry for being unclear in my first mail.
